This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a transformative initiative shaping the future of mobility in Santa Clara County. As an Assistant or Associate Transportation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in advancing cutting-edge transportation infrastructure projects with lasting regional impact. The Toll Systems and Traffic Engineering Department is responsible for day-to-day operations, management and maintenance of VTA's Silicon Valley Express Lanes Program. The Department is also responsible for Transportation Technology (also known as Intelligent Transportation Systems), traffic engineering and traffic operations analysis for VTA. A key part of the Department's Transportation Technology effort is to serve as the lead on Traffic Operations System (TOS) and ramp metering coordination with Caltrans. The traffic engineering and traffic operations functions include leading VTA's traffic and transportation engineering efforts with member agencies as part of VTA's Congestion Management Program which includes running the Intelligent Transportation Systems Working Group and the Systems Operations and Management Working Group (which reports to the VTA Technical Advisory Committee). Assistant Transportation Engineer Definition Under general supervision, an Assistant Transportation Engineer performs professional engineering duties in connection with the location, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of transportation systems and related projects. Distinguishing Characteristics This is the second professional transportation engineering level. Incumbents perform moderately complex assignments and exercise some latitude for independent judgment. Incumbents at this level may be assigned specific projects with minimal supervision. Additionally, incumbents may direct the work of lower level engineers, technicians, and others who assist in specific project assignments. Incumbents may occasionally lead smaller, short-term projects or studies of limited scope. This class is distinguished from the entry level class of Junior Transportation Engineer in that incumbents of the latter class perform entry level professional engineering duties under close supervision. Associate Transportation Engineer Definition Under direction, the Associate Transportation Engineer supervises and performs responsible professional, field and office engineering work in connection with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of transportation systems and projects; and to participate in a variety of services and special studies requiring the application of professional knowledge and skills. Distinguishing Characteristics This is the journey-level class in the professional transportation engineer series. Associate Transportation Engineers typically perform more difficult or complex engineering work, using independent judgment, and typically serve as the project lead, providing lead supervision to lower level professional and technical staff on a project basis. The Associate Transportation Engineer is distinguished from the next higher level of Senior Transportation Engineer in that the latter class has full supervisory responsibility over staff and consultants of a major unit or program.
