About The Role
Role Overview
Lead traffic engineering and transport planning tasks for major infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on Dubai RTA-compliant Temporary Traffic Management (TTM), diversions, and traffic staging, alongside permanent traffic impact assessments (TIA), junction analysis, access planning, and traffic signage/road markings coordination. The role will support design development, authority approvals, and construction-phase traffic management in close coordination with highways, utilities, and construction teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead delivery of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIA) and supporting technical studies for road and transport infrastructure projects (greenfield and brownfield).
- Develop and manage TTM / work zone traffic management deliverables, including:
- Diversion plans, detour layouts, staging/phasing plans, lane closure schemes, and construction access/egress arrangements
- Temporary signage and road marking plans, traffic control devices, safety barriers, and pedestrian management (where applicable)
- Methodology narratives, risk assessments, and sequencing aligned with construction methodology and site constraints
- Manage Dubai RTA coordination and approvals for TTM/diversions, including preparation of submission packages, responding to RTA comments, and aligning with RTA requirements, standards, and typical details.
- Perform junction and corridor analysis (existing and forecast), including capacity, LOS, queues, delays, and operational performance under base and construction-stage scenarios.
- Undertake traffic surveys scoping and interpretation: turning counts, mid-block counts, travel time runs, parking demand, pedestrian counts, heavy vehicle counts; develop calibrated base models where required.
- Develop traffic modelling and scenario testing for:
- Permanent scheme impacts (new intersections, access points, ramp terminals, weaving sections)
- Construction-stage impacts (temporary lane drops, detours, signal timing changes, partial closures)
- Mitigation measures (signal optimization, geometry refinements, temporary signal plans, reversible lanes where permissible)
- Prepare signage and road marking design inputs and reviews, including:
- Permanent guide signs, regulatory/warning signs, VMS interface needs (if applicable), and pavement marking strategy
- Temporary signage for work zones/diversions in accordance with RTA expectations and safety practice
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams: highways geometric design, utilities, structures, construction planning, safety, and stakeholder interfaces (developers, local authorities, police/ambulance access requirements where applicable).
- Provide construction support: review contractor TTM submissions, respond to RFIs, participate in site coordination meetings, and support implementation readiness checks.
- Prepare deliverables and governance documentation: design reports, TIA reports, concept/IFC drawings, phasing narratives, traffic management plans, and authority submission trackers.
What do we need from you
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering / Transportation Engineering (Master's preferred).
- 1215 years of experience in traffic engineering and transport planning with substantial exposure to:
- Dubai RTA processes for TTM/diversions and authority submissions (mandatory)
- Traffic impact assessments for major developments and infrastructure corridors
- Work zone traffic management, staging, and safe diversion planning on live roads
- Strong technical understanding of:
- Signalized/unsignalized intersection operations, corridor performance, access management
- Temporary traffic controls, pedestrian management, safety barriers, and staging constraints
- Traffic signage and pavement markings principles (temporary and permanent)
- Experience producing coordinated deliverables suitable for authority review and construction implementation, with strong QA/QC discipline.
- Preferable: exposure to Middle East standards and stakeholder management for constrained urban construction environments.
What's in it for you
Software
- Traffic analysis / TIA: any combination of PTV VISSIM, Aimsun, SIDRA Intersection, Synchro/SimTraffic, HCS (Highway Capacity Software).
