We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Principal Transport Engineer to join our Advisory team in Perth. The role will provide the opportunity to share and develop your experience advising on the technical transport requirements of planning and infrastructure projects to meet government and client needs, particularly during the feasibility, optioneering and concept development stages. We are seeking a lead who is curious about emerging transport solutions, and how we can do better – integrating sustainability, safety, efficiency and embracing new and digital solutions, and seeking to work with teams with diverse skills to collaborate with clients and deliver successful projects.

You will contribute to the winning and delivery of small to large scale projects and assist with preparing proposals and presentations to clients to win work as well as manage and deliver projects, establish and maintain a client base and accept responsibility for project performance.

We are seeking a future leader with an interest in succession and long term growth in AECOM - an individual who is looking to develop their career within a global organisation. Working on a range of projects, this role will give you the opportunity to develop and accelerate your career.

About you:

• Strong skills and experience in transport impact assessment, input to successful design outcomes that consider all road users, and intersection modelling.
• Demonstrate a sound knowledge of, and experience in the application of, local traffic engineering standards and guidelines in the planning and design process for programs and projects, at a variety of scales. 
• Experience in Road Safety Audits (RSAs) and Road Safety Assessments is desirable but not essential.  
• Experience in meso/microsimulation modelling is desirable but not essential, though  knowledge of how these tools are applied on projects would be advantageous.  
• Lead Project teams and actively contribute to the technical aspects of projects so that projects are delivered on time, to scope and to budget with sound outcomes.
• Ability to build and maintain strong client relationships.
• Ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and coordinate the integration of designs with other disciplines including lighting, stormwater, pavements, structures etc.
• Knowledge of road drainage design and ancillary road design elements (road signs and markings, safety barriers, pavements, services etc.).
• Play an active role in writing proposal, bid documents, and winning projects.

Your strong sense of commitment, ability to adapt as project needs dictate, a willingness to learn and a desire to work in a dynamic deadline driven team environment will be keys to your success in this role.

Preferred Qualifications

• Civil Engineering degree or similar.
