Job Description:

We’re looking for a sharp, solutions-driven, experienced, and dynamic Director of Transportation to lead operational excellence across our transportation practice in Arizona. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for personally managing key projects, driving business development, deepening client relationships, ensuring financial performance, and promoting a culture of collaboration and accountability across teams. This is not a role for someone who waits to be told what to do. We're looking for someone who sees problems as puzzles, not roadblocks, and who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments where not everything is perfectly resourced, but understands the work still needs to get done. This role requires a hands-on leader who steps in to provide direct support, mobilize resources, and drive solutions when challenges arise.

Job Responsibility:

  • Serve as the Project Director or Manager on a concentrated portfolio of larger, strategic transportation projects, ensuring efficiency, quality, and profitability from conception to completion
  • Direct and manage public agency clients and project teams
  • Monitor project performance metrics, drive accountability, and ensure timely delivery of work within scope and budget
  • Collaborate with project managers to forecast staffing needs and allocate resources effectively
  • Identify, pursue, and secure new business opportunities with public agency clients in partnership with Business Development
  • Expand existing client accounts and maintain a strong market presence through active networking and industry involvement
  • Build long-term relationships with key clients, ensuring satisfaction and repeat business
  • Serve as a trusted advisor, understanding client needs and aligning our services to meet them effectively
  • Be the touchpoint for clients, before, during, and after projects to ensure strong client satisfaction, repeat work, and lasting relationships
  • Set and manage public works department budgets and performance targets
  • Analyze financial reports and project data to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities for improvement
  • Work closely with leadership across teams to deliver integrated solutions
  • Foster a culture of problem-solving, mentorship, and high performance under pressure
  • Promote knowledge sharing and continuous improvement across teams.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related field
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred
  • DOT experience is strongly preferred
  • Minimum 15 years of progressive civil engineering experience with at least 5 years in a leadership or director-level role
  • Proven experience successfully managing large-scale transportation projects for public agencies
  • Proven ability to win work, retain clients, and lead teams through complex projects
  • Ability to win work through proposals as well as interviews with agencies
  • Strong financial acumen and operational oversight experience
  • Skilled communicator with a track record of leading diverse teams and delivering results in a fast-paced environment
  • A natural ability to anticipate needs, connect dots, and get ahead of challenges
  • The confidence to lean in without waiting for perfect direction or full resources
  • A "figure it out" mindset, you’re scrappy, resourceful, and always looking for a way forward
  • Valid driver's license and automobile insurance.
What we offer:
  • Health, life, 401(k), dental and vision insurance
  • Short-term, long-term disability insurance and leave
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid Time Off
  • Bereavement leave
  • Discretionary bonuses, if applicable
