Sr .Traffic & Transportation Design Engineer

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.
