Job Description

Director of Transportation Services – Florida

An established and fast-growing transportation consultancy is seeking a Director of Transportation Services to lead the planning, design, and delivery of highway and infrastructure projects across Florida. This is a strategic leadership role with responsibility for managing a talented team of engineers, project managers, and technical staff while driving growth through strong client relationships, business development, and market strategy.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior transportation leader to step into a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment with the autonomy to shape business development strategies, expand market presence, and make a lasting impact on Florida’s transportation landscape.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Strategic leadership position with influence over regional growth and business direction
  • Performance-based compensation model with bonus eligibility tied to success
  • Equity/ownership potential for high-performing, entrepreneurial leaders
  • Collaborative, people-first culture supported by strong technical and marketing resources
  • Exposure to impactful highway and multimodal transportation projects across Florida
  • Clear career growth with the ability to shape a practice and lead teams

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the growth of the transportation practice, driving client development, proposal pursuits, and strategic partnerships
  • Oversee technical quality, project delivery, and profitability of transportation contracts
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with state DOTs, municipalities, and local agencies
  • Direct and mentor engineering and project management staff, fostering collaboration and technical excellence
  • Develop and execute business strategies including pursuits in conventional delivery, design-build, and P3 projects
  • Represent the firm at top-level client meetings, negotiations, and professional organizations

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering + Professional Engineer (PE) license in Florida
  • 15+ years of diverse engineering experience with at least 5 years in senior leadership or management roles
  • Proven track record delivering and winning highway/transportation projects with FDOT and local government agencies
  • Strong client network in Florida, with ability to secure new contracts and expand relationships
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and negotiation skills
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to integrate technical expertise into winning business strategies

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive salary + bonus structure
  • Employer-paid health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with immediate vesting and employer match
  • Generous PTO, paid holidays, and year-end office closure
  • Professional development assistance
  • Flexible hybrid work (up to 2 remote days per week)
  • Long-term equity/ownership opportunities
