Greater Chicago Area

Lead impactful transportation projects.

Grow your career. Join a firm that invests in its people.

An award-winning civil engineering firm in the Greater Chicago area is seeking a Transportation Project Manager (PE) to join their growing team. This is an opportunity to work with a highly respected organization known for its strong culture, employee retention, and commitment to developing its people.

If you are a transportation engineer looking for greater project ownership, leadership opportunities, and a long-term career path, this could be an excellent next step.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Award-winning firm with a strong reputation in the industry

• Collaborative team environment with experienced professionals

• Transportation planning studies
• Municipal infrastructure projects

Responsibilities:

• Manage transportation projects from design through completion
• Develop and monitor project budgets, schedules, and deliverables
• Lead project teams and provide mentorship
• Coordinate with clients, stakeholders, and internal teams
• Support client relationships and business development initiatives

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• 8+ years of transportation engineering experience
• Experience with IDOT standards, Phase I/Phase II design requirements, and MFT processes preferred
• Strong communication, leadership, and project management skills

Compensation:

$110,000 – $140,000+ base salary depending on experience and qualifications.

Additional benefits include competitive benefits, professional development opportunities, and long-term career growth with an established engineering organization.

If you are looking for a role where you can lead projects, make an impact, and build a lasting career, I’d welcome the opportunity to share more details and see if this aligns with your goals.
