Job Description

Join TKDA as a Graduate Traffic Engineer and help improve the safety and mobility of transportation systems throughout Minnesota and across the country.

This position offers the opportunity to gain experience in both traffic operations and traffic design, helping you develop a well-rounded traffic engineering skill set early in your career and discover which aspects of the profession interest you most. You will collect and analyze traffic data; perform intersection operations, safety, and multimodal evaluations; prepare intersection and corridor studies; and conduct analyses using traffic simulation and modeling software. You will also prepare preliminary and final traffic engineering designs and develop construction plans for signing, pavement markings, temporary traffic control, traffic signals, and roadway lighting.

Successful candidates are often those who have developed interests in either traffic operations or traffic design and are excited to broaden their experience across both disciplines.
