    Description

    Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates is seeking a highly organized, experienced, independent, and motivated senior-level transportation engineer for our nationally recognized planning and engineering practice. This is an outstanding opportunity for the right person to become involved in supporting and growing our leading work in developing creative and multimodal transportation solutions for vibrant, equitable, and livable communities around the country. This position can be filled in any of the NN offices: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Oakland, Orlando, San Francisco, Seattle or Washington DC.

    We are seeking an individual with at least eight years of experience and a strong interest in transit, multimodal, and active transportation. The position will support the firm's growing practice in transit corridor planning and design for livable communities and expand the firm's transportation infrastructure design capabilities.

Multi-disciplinary design management and final design experience is also preferred.

Today, we are 160 talented and dedicated people in 13 offices across the country who continue to live by those values.
