Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with extensive expertise in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Smart Mobility to lead, expand, and successfully deliver high-impact transportation technology projects across Texas and beyond. This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Austin, Texas office, and candidates must reside in Texas.

This is a high-visibility leadership role for a doer-seller-entrepreneur-someone who can win work, do the work, and grow the work. The ideal candidate combines strong technical and project-delivery capabilities with business-development acumen, market presence, and a passion for shaping the future of mobility.

This person will be based in Texas and serve as a key leader supporting clients and opportunities throughout the Texas market, while also contributing to strategic growth in other geographies.

Market Growth

• Develop and execute strategies to expand market presence in ITS, connected infrastructure, traffic systems, transportation technology, and smart mobility solutions.

Education and Typical Experience

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related technical/business field
