Job Description

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.

Qualifications

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering / Transportation Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 12–15 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.

Additional Information

Software

• Traffic analysis / TIA: any combination of PTV VISSIM, Aimsun, SIDRA Intersection, Synchro/SimTraffic, HCS (Highway Capacity Software).
