The posting

For more than a century, Burgess & Niple has helped communities strengthen the infrastructure that supports everyday life. Our teams combine technical expertise with a commitment to improving quality of life, safety and sustainability. At B&N, that legacy shapes meaningful careers. You will collaborate on projects that make a difference, grow alongside experienced teams and contribute to work that has lasting impact.

Join our nationally recognized team of transit and transportation professionals and take ownership of a high-visibility portfolio of rapid transit projects. As a Transit Design Senior Project Manager, you'll lead multidisciplinary teams through the full lifecycle of bus rapid transit, arterial rapid transit, light rail, and/or streetcar projects, from planning and environmental review through design, construction, and launch, while serving as the trusted point of contact for transit agencies, government stakeholders, and community groups. This role places you at the intersection of technical leadership and stakeholder partnership, where your ability to drive project delivery, manage budgets and schedules, and navigate federal funding requirements is every bit as important as your transit engineering expertise. You'll also play a meaningful role in shaping mobility, equity, and community development outcomes, with clear opportunity to advance within the firm.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage the planning, design, and delivery rapid transit capital projects including planning, design, environmental review, procurement, construction, and commissioning of bus rapid transit, arterial rapid transit, light rail, and/or street car
  • Oversee design execution while monitoring key performance indicators including project scope, schedule, and budget, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to contract requirements
  • Ensure projects comply with FTA requirements, including NEPA, Title VI, Small/Starts/New Starts, and other federal grand funding processes
  • Oversee design and engineering activities for stations, corridors, transit signal priority (TSP), guideways, vehicle interfaces, ITS and supporting infrastructure
  • Serve as the primary client point of contact, managing day-to-day communication and fostering long-term client relationships and delivering solutions that meet and exceed expectations
  • Provide subject matter expertise in rapid transit design elements for multiple modes including bus, arterial, light rail, and/or streetcar such as: dedicated lanes, station and platform design, signal priority and queue jumps, fleet and charging infrastructure (if applicable), corridor branding and customer amenities, integration with pedestrian, bike, and land-use improvements
  • Lead public outreach efforts and represent the project at public meetings, board meetings, advisory groups, with elected officials and community events
  • Provide mentorship, training, and technical guidance to developing staff
  • Support business development through proposal development, scoping, fee negotiation, and client pursuits
  • Apply knowledge of federal, state, and local grand funding requirements ensuring compliance with procurement policies and agency standards

Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering or related field from an ABET-accredited program required
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration in the state of employment, or ability to be registered with reciprocity
  • 10+ years of related transportation design experience for state and municipal transportation clients
  • Expertise in Microsoft Office Suite, MicroStation and OpenRoads
  • Adaptable and self-motivated with an entrepreneurial mindset as well as a proactive approach to problem solving
  • Servant leader committed to fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence while developing others

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
