Job Description & How to Apply Below
There's a highway engineering group in Western NY that's ready for its next chapter of leadership — and it's not a role where you'll be one voice among many. This is a seat where your technical judgment and your read on people both matter, at a firm large enough to have real project depth and small enough that your name is known at every level.
Whythis role stands out:
- Genuine autonomy — not a satellite office waiting on approvals from three layers up
- Work spans NYSDOT, county, and municipal transportation infrastructure: roadway reconstruction, ADA compliance, drainage, complete streets, and multi-use facility design
- A firm that promotes and mentors from within, with an established bench of junior and mid-level engineers eager to learn and ready for a new leader
- Meaningful influence over how the practice grows: client relationships, technical direction, and staff development all sit within reach of this role
- Leading design production from preliminary concepts through final PS&E on roadway and transportation infrastructure projects
- Owning scope, schedule, budget, and resourcing decisions across an active project portfolio
- Mentoring and developing a team of junior, mid-level, and senior engineers
- Serving as a QA/QC checkpoint on engineering deliverables
- Building and maintaining client relationships across public-sector transportation work, with a hand in proposal development and go/no-go decisions
- Representing the firm within regional engineering organizations and at industry conferences
- NYS Professional Engineer (PE) license, required
- 10+ years of transportation design and project management experience
- Working knowledge of NYSDOT's Locally Administered Federal Aid process and NYSDOT standards
- Proficiency guiding a team using Micro Station, Open Roads, and/or Civil 3D
- Someone who leads because they want to grow people, not just projects — whether that shows up today as a practice lead ready for broader scope, or a director-level engineer looking for a firm where leadership is hands-on
Compensation is competitive and will be discussed in the context of overall scope and fit.
