• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including planners, engineers, GIS analysts, and engagement specialists to deliver projects on scope, schedule, and budget.
• Ensure compliance with Canadian transportation planning standards and policies, including TAC guidance and provincial and municipal frameworks.
• Support business development and proposal preparation, including technical approaches, level-of-effort estimates, schedules, and team structures.
• Partner with Program Managers and BD teams on capture strategies, proposals, and client presentations.
• Contribute to public and stakeholder engagement, including workshops, open houses, surveys, and presentations.
• Translate complex technical analysis into clear, accessible reports, graphics, and presentations.
• Utilize planning tools such as GIS, scenario planning platforms, and analytics dashboards to support data-driven decision making.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Urban/Regional Planning, Civil or Transportation Engineering, Geography, or a related field (Master’s in Planning or Transportation preferred).
• RPP/MCIP designation or eligibility strongly preferred; P.Eng. considered an asset.
• 8–12+ years of transportation planning experience, ideally within a consulting environment and with experience in the GTA or Ontario.
• Experience delivering multimodal corridor/network plans, transportation master plans, transit and active transportation strategies, and station area or TOD studies.
• Familiarity with GIS tools, mobility data analytics platforms, GTFS datasets, and related technologies.
• Knowledge of travel demand modeling tools such as EMME, Visum, or TransCAD and dashboard platforms such as Power BI or Tableau considered an asset.
• Strong analytical, report writing, and presentation skills with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to work with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex planning projects.
