What You’ll Focus on:  

Build & Lead the Northern California Practice  

• Establish and scale TYLin’s Rail & Transit presence across Northern California. 

• Recruit, mentor, and develop a team built around your vision and leadership style.  

• Create a culture of accountability, technical excellence, and collaboration from day one.   

• Take full ownership of regional performance - including P&L, hiring strategy, and growth trajectory.  

Drive Market Presence & Client Relationships  

• Act as a senior face of TYLin across key agencies including Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Caltrain, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and Capitol Corridor.   

• Expand and leverage your network to open doors, win work, and position TYLin for major programs and pursuits.   

• Build strategic partnerships with owners, design-build teams, and industry collaborators.   

Shape Strategy & Win Work  

• Define and execute a regional growth strategy aligned with national Rail & Transit priorities.   

• Lead pursuits from early positioning through capture and proposal strategy.   

• Build a sustainable backlog through a mix of relationships, reputation, and disciplined pursuit management.   

Oversee Delivery of Complex Programs  

• Provide executive oversight on major transit and rail projects.

• Guide teams on risk, contract strategy, and multidisciplinary coordination.   

• Ensure delivery meets TYLin’s standards for quality, safety, and innovation.   

What You Bring

• Significant, demonstrated experience in Rail & Transit, with a strong track record in both delivery and business growth.   

• Demonstrated experience building or scaling teams, groups, or regional practices.   

• Proven ability to manage P&L, forecasting, and operational performance.   

• Deep relationships across the Northern California transit ecosystem. 

• Background in complex, multidisciplinary rail/transit programs (systems, infrastructure, or both).   

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Engineering (Civil, Electrical, Systems, or related).  

• PE license preferred.   

Why This Role Stands Out  

• True market ownership – not a legacy team you inherit, but a platform you shape.   

• Executive visibility – direct alignment with national leadership and strategy.  

• Freedom to build – influence hiring, structure, and go-to-market approach.  

• High-impact region – Northern California remains one of the most dynamic transit markets in North America.  ​

Who Will Thrive in This Role? 

This role is best suited to someone who:  

• Has already led teams or major programs.  

• Is comfortable carrying both revenue responsibility and client relationships.  

• Is now looking for the opportunity to build something with real autonomy and long-term upside. 

TYLin is committed to pay equity. As part of that commitment, we have provided the base compensation range of $250,000 - $300,000 annually for this position and local market. We recognize that each candidate brings a unique set of skills, experience, education and competencies to the table that will be reflected in our offer. TYLin is proud to offer exciting career development opportunities.
