Senior Engineer: Civil or Transportation
Toole DesignAbout the role
Toole Design Group in Minneapolis, MN is looking to hire an experienced and talented full-time Senior Engineer with either a civil or transportation focus. Do you have a strong background in civil engineering with final, detailed roadway/corridor design and site development experience or do you desire to be a part of a collaborative preliminary design process for multimodal transportation projects, but believe an auto-centric approach is outdated? Are you passionate about creating quality construction documents, safety and sustainability? Are you looking for the opportunity to work on challenging multimodal projects that make communities more livable? Would you like to work for a firm that is committed to the well-being of its employees? If so, please consider joining our Minneapolis team.
This engineering position with a focus on either civil roadway and active transportation design or traffic engineering and preliminary design, earns a competitive salary and great benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, retirement, a health savings account (HSA), and a flexible spending account (FSA). We practice what we preach and ensure that our employees also have access to transportation by providing them with financial incentives to bike, walk, or use transit for a better quality of life.

A Day in the Life of a Senior Engineer
You are at the forefront of brainstorming creative solutions for challenging projects. If you are on the civil design track, you'll lead and mentor an interdisciplinary team to deliver multimodal transportation infrastructure in a wide range of contexts from roadway reconstructions and streetscapes in highly urban settings to signature trail projects in suburban and rural areas that highlight and enhance the natural environment. You use programs such as AutoCAD and/or MicroStation in order to fulfill production work on your projects. You will manage projects; guide your team and clients through concept development, design review, bid package development, permitting, and construction management. You will help develop construction documents; and work with your team to ensure that our projects are consistently of the highest quality.
If you're on the transportation design track, you'll help lead the creation of signing and pavement marking plans, maintenance of traffic, and traffic signal plans for roadway projects and streetscapes in urban settings. You will use programs such as Synchro, Highway Capacity Software, MicroStation, and AutoCAD to fulfill production work on your projects. You'll use state of the art tools and practices to help create sustainable multimodal transportation networks. You'll also have the opportunity to work on a wide spectrum of projects that inform your design work, including road diet analyses, multimodal traffic studies for new development, roundabout studies, trail/roadway intersection studies and designs, and parking studies and design guidance.
You will be at the table with clients and colleagues from a variety of disciplines, delivering project ideas from concept to construction. You share your knowledge on stakeholder and public outreach, developing feasibility studies and concept plans and preparing construction documents for innovative projects throughout the country. You participate in business development pursuits in your home region as well as across our Midwestern and North American offices. Your job can sometimes be challenging, but you get to work with a close-knit team that is passionate about the work and the communities that you serve!
