Traffic Analyst

ABOUT THE POSITION

VHB is looking for an experienced Traffic Analyst to play a key role in how people move safely and efficiently across our region. In this role, you won’t just “do timing plans” – you’ll shape how entire corridors operate, reduce congestion and crashes, and see your work make an immediate, visible impact on real-world traffic every day.

If you love digging into data, optimizing systems, and turning complex traffic challenges into implementable solutions, this is an opportunity to lead meaningful work with a collaborative, future-focused team.

These hybrid positions can be located in Tampa or Orlando. 

What You’ll Do

• Support projects focused on traffic signal timing optimization and implementation to maximize transportation system throughput
  • Develop and refine timing plans using SYNCHRO, Tru-Traffic, and similar tools
  • Fine-tune performance in the field and see your changes in action
• Work hands-on with ATMS software, controllers, and traffic signal cabinets to improve corridor operations and reliability
• Perform traffic safety and operational improvement studies for key intersections and corridors across the Tampa Bay area
• Analyze crash patterns, identify safety issues, and recommend crash-reduction strategies that make roads safer for all users
• Collaborate closely with clients, agencies, and internal teams to turn technical analysis into clear, actionable recommendations

What You Bring (Skills & Abilities)

• Strong communication skills (written and oral) with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Proven ability to manage multiple assignments, prioritize effectively, and work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• A proactive mindset, strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to keep learning, growing, and taking on new challenges
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work
• Experience using MicroStation for plans and design support
• Expertise with Synchro and SimTraffic; experience with VISSIM is a strong plus and will help you tackle more complex simulation work

What We’re Looking For (Qualifications)

• BS in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
• 3-5+ years of professional traffic/transportation consulting experience, with a focus on traffic operations and signal retiming
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification
• PE licensure preferred or able to obtain within one year

Join us and help design smarter, safer, better-moving streets while working with a supportive team that values innovation, technical excellence, and work that truly matters.

Building what’s next, together.

Our people make the difference. We foster a technology-empowered, people‑driven, future‑ready culture where agility, innovation, and collaboration shape how we work every day.

When you join VHB, you’ll find:

• Meaningful work on complex projects with real community impact
• A collaborative, inclusive culture that values curiosity and shared success
• Support to grow your skills and lead through change
• Learning and development supported by evolving tools and technologies, including AI
• Best-in-class benefits and a flexible, hybrid work environment
