About the Role
Role Overview
Lead traffic engineering and transport planning tasks for major infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on Dubai RTA-compliant Temporary Traffic Management (TTM), diversions, and traffic staging, alongside permanent traffic impact assessments (TIA), junction analysis, access planning, and traffic signage/road markings coordination. The role will support design development, authority approvals, and construction-phase traffic management in close coordination with highways, utilities, and construction teams.
Key Responsibilities
-
Lead delivery of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIA) and supporting technical studies for road and transport infrastructure projects (greenfield and brownfield).
-
Develop and manage TTM / work zone traffic management deliverables, including:
-
Diversion plans, detour layouts, staging/phasing plans, lane closure schemes, and construction access/egress arrangements
-
Temporary signage and road marking plans, traffic control devices, safety barriers, and pedestrian management (where applicable)
-
Methodology narratives, risk assessments, and sequencing aligned with construction methodology and site constraints
-
Manage Dubai RTA coordination and approvals for TTM/diversions, including preparation of submission packages, responding to RTA comments, and aligning with RTA requirements, standards, and typical details.
-
Perform junction and corridor analysis (existing and forecast), including capacity, LOS, queues, delays, and operational performance under base and construction-stage scenarios.
-
Undertake traffic surveys scoping and interpretation: turning counts, mid-block counts, travel time runs, parking demand, pedestrian counts, heavy vehicle counts; develop calibrated base models where required.
-
Develop traffic modelling and scenario testing for:
-
Permanent scheme impacts (new intersections, access points, ramp terminals, weaving sections)
-
Construction-stage impacts (temporary lane drops, detours, signal timing changes, partial closures)
-
Mitigation measures (signal optimization, geometry refinements, temporary signal plans, reversible lanes where permissible)
-
Prepare signage and road marking design inputs and reviews, including:
-
Permanent guide signs, regulatory/warning signs, VMS interface needs (if applicable), and pavement marking strategy
-
Temporary signage for work zones/diversions in accordance with RTA expectations and safety practice
-
Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams: highways geometric design, utilities, structures, construction planning, safety, and stakeholder interfaces (developers, local authorities, police/ambulance access requirements where applicable).
-
Provide construction support: review contractor TTM submissions, respond to RFIs, participate in site coordination meetings, and support implementation readiness checks.
-
Prepare deliverables and governance documentation: design reports, TIA reports, concept/IFC drawings, phasing narratives, traffic management plans, and authority submission trackers.
