Highway Engineering Professional Associate – Multiple Openings
Perform traffic operations analysis -analysing the existing, no build, and build conditions of traffic for base year and future years, and calculating the resulting level of service (LOS) of traffic operations according to the procedures and standards outlined in the highway capacity manual, MUTCD, state standards, etc. Use of specialized traffic simulation software like synchro, highway capacity software (HCS), etc. for traffic operations analysis of signalized and un-signalized intersections, roadway/ freeway segments, etc. Prepare technical reports. Summarize the analyzed results and proposing recommendations to improve traffic operations. Perform historical crash analysis - this involves analyzing the historical crash data, identifying potential crash hotspots, identifying crash patterns, major crash contributing factors, major manners of collision, calculating and comparing crash rates with statewide crash rates, etc. Also involves creating crash heatmaps using specialized software like ARCGIS pro., preparing technical reports, summarizing the analyzed results, and proposing recommendations for minimizing crashes. Perform predictive crash analysis - this involves predicting future year crashes using specialized software like interactive highway safety design module (IHSDM), and following the procedures outlined in highway safety manual. Prepare technical reports, summarizing the analyzed results, and proposing recommendations for better design leading to minimum crashes. Traffic signal design - this involves designing traffic signals, highway illumination, and other related traffic items according to the current specifications and traffic standards. Use of drafting software like open roads designer, microstation, etc., and estimation of related quantities. Develop traffic projections - create line diagrams of project corridor, working on traffic counts data, annual average daily traffic, turning movement counts, etc. Develop projected traffic for base year, and future design years. Use of historical traffic data, travel demand models, regression analysis, and other traffic manuals to project traffic according to current traffic analysis standards and procedures. Perform traffic impact analysis using the institute of transportation engineer (ITE) codes to generate trips and analyze the impact of proposed improvements on traffic operations and capacity. Perform signal warrants analysis using the standards and procedures outlined in MUTCD, state MUTCD, etc. and evaluate the need for signalization of intersections. Telecommuting / Hybrid schedule is allowed. #LI-DNI REQUIREMENTS: This position requires a master’s degree* or foreign equivalent in Civil Engineering or related filed and 2 years of work experience in the job offered or related occupation.
