Technical Transportation Engineer

Felsburg Holt & Ullevig is looking to hire a full-time transportation design engineer in our Greenwood Village Office. mid-level engineer who wants a rewarding career in the transportation engineering field. The candidate for this engineering position will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of transportation-related design projects and will work for a variety of project managers.

Primary duties for this mid-level engineer position, in our Mountain West Civil Group, are focused on transportation design and plan production for multimodal transportation corridor, roadway, highway/interchange, and multi-use trail projects for private, state, and municipal clients. Career emphasis will be focused on application of transportation modeling software for design projects, leading/managing roadway design for small to mid-size projects, coordination of roadway design with other design disciplines, mentoring junior engineers, and overseeing the compilation of construction contract documents for overall projects. Longer-term career emphasis will include leading/managing roadway design for larger projects, providing guidance/training to junior engineers in roadway modeling and other design software. 

Essential duties and responsibilities will include the following, under supervision of a project manager for transportation planning and design projects:

• Develop trail/roadway/intersection/interchange design criteria for both final design as well as construction phasing. Use appropriate federal, state, or municipal standards in development of the criteria.
• Complete conceptual design layouts considering both horizontal and vertical design for trails, roadways, highways, intersections, interchanges, etc.
• Develop conceptual design graphics and exhibits to be used in the planning documentation.
• Provide input for environmental study limits, and area of potential effect for historic resources.
• Assist the project manager in determining data collection limits for survey, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and geotechnical subsurface investigation for pavement and embankment design. Assist the project manager in coordinating the data collection efforts.
• As primary transportation design modeler, use computer aided design engineering software (Civil3D and/or MicroStation/InRoads & OpenRoads) for design and modeling of transportation design projects. 
• As roadway design lead, coordinate roadway design elements with other design disciplines and required environmental resource avoidance or mitigation. This may require coordination with subconsultants.
• As roadway design lead, oversee the work of junior engineers and designers in the production of roadway construction contract documents. Also oversee the compilation of overall plan set for construction contract documents.
