Join Fehr & Peers as a Senior Manager/Practice Leader experienced in transportation planning/engineering with a specialization in climate change or resilience. We are looking for a candidate who thrives in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment and is interested in both managing/delivering project work and as well as working with the National Climate Practice Leader to strategically grow Fehr & Peers’ climate and resilience work across our geographic markets.

As leaders in the field of transportation planning and traffic engineering, we use creative and thoughtful approaches to address clients’ questions as trusted advisors. Increasingly, we have been helping our clients – municipalities, MPOs, transit planning agencies, private and institutional developers, technology firms, and civil engineering companies – understand and respond to a climate-affected future by adapting well-established transportation analysis tools and methods, and developing new methods to shape the future of transportation in the communities we serve. 

We are looking for a candidate to support us in business development and project delivery for work at the intersection of transportation and climate change. The candidate will work closely with our National Climate Practice Leader, who is responsible for growing a variety of sub-disciplines related to transportation and climate adaptation/resilience/response. The candidate will be expected to help build the pipeline of work within the climate practice area. We seek a candidate with flexibility and interest in working in other related areas of transportation planning/engineering until the pipeline is grown.

This position is open to any of the geographies in which we have an office, and is expected to be hybrid in-person at least three days per week.
