Role Context The Roadway Engineer will bridge traffic operations analysis and physical infrastructure design, turning corridor assessments, field observations, and traffic recommendations into implementable roadway solutions. Working with traffic engineers, civil teams, ITS specialists, CADD designers, utility disciplines, and RCRC stakeholders, the role will address geometric constraints, access issues, intersection deficiencies, lane configuration problems, and constructability challenges. The engineer will support both quick-win interventions and more comprehensive roadway upgrades while ensuring that each solution remains practical for live urban conditions.

• Develop roadway improvement concepts from early feasibility and concept stages through preliminary and final design.
• Prepare and review horizontal and vertical roadway geometry.
• Design lane arrangements, medians, turn lanes, auxiliary lanes, channelization, ramps, service roads, merge areas, and diverge sections.
• Develop localized intersection improvement solutions based on traffic operations and field constraints.
• Translate corridor studies, traffic analysis, field observations, and operational recommendations into practical roadway designs.
• Conduct site investigations to verify existing roadway conditions and identify physical constraints.
• Review pavement, drainage, barriers, signs, markings, utilities, pedestrian facilities, access points, and roadside conditions.
• Apply relevant Saudi and internationally recognized roadway design criteria appropriate to the project stage.
• Prepare conceptual sketches, typical sections, plan layouts, design notes, calculations, quantities, and supporting engineering records.
• Coordinate roadway designs with signal equipment, ITS devices, lighting, drainage, utilities, landscaping, structures, and public transport facilities.
• Evaluate alternative geometric layouts based on safety, capacity, right-of-way, cost, construction complexity, and traffic impact.
• Support quick-win improvement schemes using pavement markings, signage, localized widening, access changes, and minor civil works.
• Assess lane-use changes and localized geometric modifications that can improve network performance without major reconstruction.
• Review roadway design submissions prepared by consultants and contractors.
• Provide technical review comments covering geometry, standards compliance, safety, constructability, and operational effectiveness.
• Support preparation of technical specifications and implementation documentation.
• Develop quantity information and provide BOQ inputs for roadway improvement packages.
• Support preparation of cost estimate inputs for proposed roadway interventions.
• Coordinate with CADD and design teams to ensure drawings accurately represent approved engineering solutions.
• Check roadway layouts for dimensional consistency and correct incorporation of approved revisions.
• Participate in multidisciplinary design reviews and technical workshops.
• Coordinate with traffic signal engineers where proposed geometric changes affect signal operation or controller layouts.
• Work with ITS teams where roadway modifications affect cameras, detectors, communications, cabinets, or roadside equipment.
• Coordinate with drainage specialists where curb lines, levels, grading, or lane changes affect stormwater management.
• Review utility conflicts and support development of practical avoidance, relocation, or protection strategies.
• Coordinate pedestrian facilities and crossings with roadway geometry and traffic operations.
• Consider public transport stops, service access, and roadside activity when evaluating improvement options.
• Review access management arrangements and recommend changes that improve safety and traffic flow.
• Support congestion-relief programs by identifying practical geometric constraints and improvement opportunities.
• Provide engineering support during construction when field conditions differ from design assumptions.
• Respond to technical queries, RFIs, and design clarification requests.
• Conduct site inspections to verify construction activities are consistent with approved roadway design intent.
• Support resolution of unforeseen field conditions affecting alignment, access, utilities, or geometric implementation.
• Review proposed construction-stage design modifications and assess their operational and technical impacts.
• Verify completed roadway works against approved…
