What You’ll Do

As a Senior Engineer at Toole Design, you’ll lead creative solutions for complex transportation challenges, guiding multimodal and Complete Streets projects from concept through construction, from urban roadway reconstructions and streetscapes to regional trail projects. As an experienced Project Manager, you’ll mentor an interdisciplinary team while overseeing feasibility studies, final design plans, and construction documents, all while managing scope, schedule, budget, and client relationships across the Northeast. You’ll support business development efforts and collaborate with a close-knit team passionate about delivering high-quality work that makes communities safer and more livable.
