What We're Looking For

At HNTB, you can create a career that is meaningful to you while building communities that matter to all of us. For more than a century, we have been delivering solutions for some of the largest, most complex infrastructure projects across the country.

With our historic growth, it is an exciting time to join our team of employee-owners.

HNTB is currently seeking to hire a traffic engineer in their Inland Empire office (preferred location). An applicant who can work in the HNTB Orange County office would also be considered.

In addition, the candidate will also assist with traffic design work for plans, specification, and estimate (PS&E) packages such as signing / striping, traffic signal, stage construction, and traffic handling plans.

Communications skills (verbal and written) and ability to work with remote teams are very important.
