About this role
At Farnsworth Group, this role puts you at the center of transportation projects from conception through construction, managing schedules and client relationships while serving as the Engineer of Record on select assignments.

The ideal candidate brings 8 to 20 years of transportation or traffic engineering experience, a PE license, and familiarity with TDOT, county, and local agency work. You'll need to manage competing priorities across projects while collaborating effectively with engineers, technicians, clients, and internal teams. Proficiency with Microsoft Office, MicroStation, CONNECT, and ORD is expected. Based in Nashville with a hybrid arrangement, this is a full-time role at a 650-person firm that has earned Great Place to Work certification for eleven consecutive years and offers comprehensive benefits including a 401(k) match, professional development support, and flexible work options.
