About this role
At Farnsworth Group, this role puts you at the center of transportation projects as both a technical lead and client manager. You'll own project schedules and deliverables across multiple assignments—from street and highway design through permitting and construction oversight—while serving as the primary point of contact for clients.

You'll need at least five years in transportation or traffic engineering, a PE license, and a strong foundation in civil engineering fundamentals. Experience with TDOT and local agency projects is valued, as is familiarity with MicroStation, CONNECT, and ORD. Beyond technical skills, the role demands the ability to juggle multiple projects, lead and collaborate with engineers and technicians, and manage client relationships effectively.
