Job Description

At Fehr & Peers, people come first—communities, clients, and teammates alike. We share success, and our culture is built on collaboration, curiosity, and solving meaningful problems together.  

We’re looking for a Transportation Engineer or Planner who finds joy in collaboration, mentors as much as they learn, and is energized by turning complex analysis into clear choices. 

How You'll Contribute

• Contribute to big-picture change: From focused corridor studies to region-shaping initiatives—align projects with funding, work across specialties (operations, safety, economics, curbside management, transportation demand management, transit, design, and more); and co-author competitive grant narratives. 
• Communicate with impact: Write policies the public can understand, craft memos decisionmakers value, and brief city leaders with clear, actionable insights. 
• Design smarter systems: Redesign downtown streets for safety and efficiency, develop TDM plans for stadiums and universities, and replace generic ITE rates with context-sensitive models. 
• Grow with your team: Mentor and be mentored at every stage, provide generous feedback, build tidy, reusable analytics (Python/ArcGIS/Excel) your teammates can carry forward, and balance high-impact work with life outside of it. 
• Become a trusted advisor: Win repeat business with clients who value deep knowledge of the local communities and insights that help them make complex decisions. 

What This Looks Like in Practice

• Help a university add 5,000 daily trips with no new parking, just better transit and shuttles. 
• Develop a TDM plan to influence how attendees travel to an NFL stadium. 
• Redesign a downtown street system so buses, deliveries, and bikes can safely share space. 
• Help a city manager weigh clear options and understand which quick-build safety designs perform best and why. 
• Develop a transit system plan to prioritize transportation investments to meet a set of community approved goals. 

Minimum Qualifications

• 4–10 years in transportation planning or engineering (operations, design, forecasting, policy). 
• Strong technical, writing, and presentation skills. 
• Strong curiosity about the world around you. 
• Project management experience; marketing exposure a plus.
• License or certification preferred; GIS helpful. 

Why DC, Why Us 

The DC region is alive with opportunity: reimagining bus networks with WMATA, shaping safer streets with DDOT, and contributing to federal initiatives for resilience and multimodal access. Here, your work will directly influence how the region grows and moves — and you’ll have a clear path to grow as a leader, with colleagues who share ideas freely, celebrate curiosity, and invest in each other’s success.
