APPLY NOW (opens in a new tab)Job Description
The Role:
We are working with a growing engineering services business that is looking for a Head of Transportation to spearhead the growth of its Transportation business across the Northeast. The role sits within a $2B global business unit, giving you the backing and resources of a large international organisation while still having significant autonomy to build and grow the Transportation business in the Northeast. This is a build-and-grow opportunity rather than simply managing an established team. You'll have the opportunity to effectively build a new Business Unit, taking responsibility for winning new work, developing client relationships, growing the team and overseeing project delivery.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Leading the growth of the Transportation business across the Northeast
- Developing and executing a strategy to win new transportation projects
- Building and maintaining relationships with key clients, transportation authorities and government agencies
- Identifying new business opportunities and leading pursuits from initial opportunity through to award
- Growing and developing a high-performing Transportation team
- Recruiting and building the technical and delivery capabilities required to support growth
- Overseeing project delivery and ensuring high standards of technical and commercial performance
- Taking responsibility for the development and growth of the Business Unit
- Working closely with senior leadership to shape the future direction of the Transportation business
What We're Looking For:
- Professional Engineer (PE) licence is essential
- Extensive experience within transportation engineering/infrastructure
- Experience working with state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), transportation authorities, government agencies or similar public-sector clients
- A strong track record of winning and delivering transportation projects
- Experience in any area of transportation will be considered, including roads/highways, bridges, rail, transit, traffic/transportation planning or related disciplines
- Strong commercial and business development experience
- Experience growing teams and developing new business areas
- Strong understanding of the Northeast transportation market and its key clients
- Comfortable operating in a high-autonomy environment where you will have significant influence over the direction of the business
- Why This Role?
- This is a chance to build something rather than inherit something.
- You'll have the opportunity to take an existing transportation offering and significantly expand it, with responsibility for winning work, building the team and ultimately creating a major Transportation Business Unit across the Northeast.
- At the same time, you'll have the backing of a $2B global business unit, giving you access to the resources, expertise and infrastructure needed to support aggressive growth.
- The role is based in the Northeast, with offices available in New York City or New Jersey.
- If you're a senior transportation professional with a PE licence, strong relationships across the Northeast transportation market and the ambition to build and lead a growing business, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
