Only qualified candidates with a strong interest and enthusiasm for collaborative design within the public realm will be considered.

Our Philadelphia office is conveniently located in Center City Philadelphia, just blocks away from City Hall and all SEPTA and PATCO rail lines. Our employees are active volunteers in our communities and we are proud to be selected as a “Bike-Phriendly" business by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. Many of our staff walk or bike to work, and our office has been designed to accommodate these modes of commuting.

Our transportation team is growing. This position offers the opportunity for career growth, client interaction, and the ability to work with a progressive team of professionals that continually seek to implement the latest best practices and better our communities.

• Technical design duties including performing multi-modal design documents, calculations, report writing, specification development, scheduling, and cost estimating.
• Development of horizontal and vertical corridor design (streets, trails, etc.), including centerline alignments, vertical profiles, cross sections, and site grading.
• The position will require coordination with internal project team members across several NV5 offices, including structural, geotechnical, traffic, and water resources engineers, as well as planners and landscape architects.
• Coordination with subconsultants, public agencies, clients, participation in project meetings, and assisting with community engagement efforts as needed.
• Participation in professional societies like ASCE, WTS, and ITE will be encouraged.

Qualifications
