Transportation Engineer

If you are interested in multiple locations please only apply once, your preference will be discussed during the screening process.

At Fehr & Peers, our people bring different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to their work, with one thing in common—a passion for transportation. We highly value that same passion in candidates for our team.

As an Entry-Level Transportation Engineer or Planner, you’ll build a strong professional foundation by applying standard techniques and procedures under the guidance of experienced staff while developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence to grow throughout your career. We look for genuine curiosity, an openness to new experiences and tools, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving – qualities that help you learn, contribute, and take on increasing responsibility over time.

These opportunities for personal and professional growth are maximized through exposure to a wide variety of transportation planning, engineering, and design projects, which may include:

Transportation planning and analysis: transportation impact studies, bicycle and pedestrian planning, access, circulation and parking studies, multimodal operations, VMT assessments, transportation demand management (TDM), climate action plans, and freight planning.

Traffic operations, forecasting, and safety: traffic operations analysis, transit forecasting and operations, travel behavior forecasting, systemic safety studies, and highway interchange and corridor studies.

Transportation design: complete streets, bikeways, signing and striping, traffic signals/ITS, street lighting, roundabouts, temporary traffic control, cost estimates, project specifications, and design drawings from concept through construction-ready documents.
