• Prepare and review functional, preliminary, and detailed design drawings, design briefs, technical memoranda, quantities, cost estimates, and supporting documentation. 

• Apply transportation design standards, guidelines, and sound engineering judgement to develop practical, safe, and constructible design solutions. 

• Complete and coordinate roadway design elements including alignments, grading, intersection layouts, roundabout geometry, pavement markings, signage, traffic control devices, and active transportation facilities. 

• Develop and review signalized intersection and roundabout design elements, including multimodal accommodations, geometric layouts, design vehicle checks, pavement markings, and signage. 

• Undertake site plan and access reviews, including loading, parking, circulation, sightline, and AutoTURN assessments, and provide technical recommendations. 

• Coordinate with internal disciplines, clients, municipalities, road authorities, and project managers to support effective project delivery and provide technical direction to junior staff and designers.

• Support project management, proposal development, client communication, field reviews, and construction-phase activities as required.
