Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.
We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.
At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. We are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don’t be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!
Our Florida Division is experiencing tremendous growth as we continue to expand our services, client partnerships, and presence across the state. Spanning five offices in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, the team maintains a highly collaborative and close-knit culture built on strong relationships, shared success, and a commitment to supporting one another across offices and disciplines.
As we continue to invest in the growth of our transportation services throughout Florida, we are seeking an experienced Transportation Practice Leader who is excited to leverage their relationships, expertise, and vision to expand Benesch's transportation presence while supporting a broad range of transportation services, including roadway design, transportation planning, traffic engineering, PD&E, hydraulics, and multidisciplinary infrastructure projects.
In this role, you will shape the next chapter of our Florida Transportation practice by influencing strategy, developing future leaders, and strengthening and expanding relationships with transportation agencies, including FDOT Districts 1, 2, 5, and 7, as well as key county and municipal partners across Florida. Approximately 60% of the time will be spent on business development, client engagement, strategic pursuits, and market growth, with the remaining 40% dedicated to people leadership, project oversight, team development, and technical guidance. If you're energized by business development, leadership, mentoring others, and the opportunity to build something meaningful, we'd love to connect!
This position can be based in any of our Florida offices, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami, with flexibility to collaborate across our statewide footprint. Depending on the candidate's location, periodic travel will be expected for client meetings, business development activities, industry events, and team member engagement.
It’s simple. We invest in our people, not just our projects.
Whether you’re starting your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll have the support and exposure to grow here.
