Safe Mobility Engineer in Training

Help us achieve Vision Zero! The City of Edmonton is committed to creating safe and livable streets for all. We are looking for 2 Engineers in Training (EIT) to join our Safe Mobility team. As an EIT, you will support the implementation of the Safe Mobility Strategy, which aims to achieve Vision Zero - zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries - by 2032. You will work under the supervision of a senior engineer to provide engineering support on various projects that contribute to making Edmonton's streets safer for all users. This role offers an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in the field of traffic safety engineering.

What will you do?

Under the direct supervision of the senior engineer, you will:

• Conduct in-depth analysis based on data and traffic safety indicators (e.g., collision, speed, volume, road network, near crashes, lived experiences, complaints, technical standards, historical context related to previous work completed) to diagnose safety concerns
• Apply national guidelines to complete geometric analysis (e.g., horizontal and vertical alignments, cross-sectional elements) as well as operational analysis (e.g., pavement markings and signs, signal phases, intersection level of service) using a multi-modal lens to assess their impacts on the safety performance
• Use best practice and evidence-based research to recommend the appropriate safety countermeasures to be installed to address the frequency and severity of the identified issue
• Work with technologists to develop engineering drawings for traffic calming and safety measures, primarily using adaptable materials
• Collaborate and support multi-disciplinary teams consisting of project management staff, engineering technologists, installation crews, analysts, engineering consultants, and others
• Support the planning & design and/or delivery of capital projects including operational/strategic initiatives, project timelines/resources, and project budgets
• Document all project activities in accordance with the Project Management methodology, City policies, processes, and procedures, as well as regulatory and legislative requirements
• Participate in the procurement and contract processes, including tender documents, review of proposals/bids, and make recommendations for acceptance
• Represent the Safe Mobility section by presenting research findings in professional, public, and educational settings (e.g., presentation at the Transportation Research Board, Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, Transportation Association of Canada, University of Alberta, Institute of Transportation Engineers, etc.)
• Represent the Safe Mobility Section in a collaborative and integrated fashion with internal and external groups
• Perform other related duties as assigned
