- Strong analytical, technical writing, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Experience
- TxDOT project experience and/or precertifications
- Exposure to ITS, signal timing optimization, or advanced modeling
- Experience working on urban roadway or corridor improvements in DFW
What This Role Is (and Is Not)

- 401(k) with match
- Flexible/hybrid work options
