Senior Transportation Planner / Engineer

About MetroPlan Orlando

MetroPlan Orlando is the region's designated metropolitan planning organization, dedicated to shaping a sustainable and connected future for Central Florida. Following the retirement of a long-serving staff member, this position has been restructured to offer a unique opportunity to shape and advance the region's active transportation and safety initiatives. The team is passionate about building safe, multimodal transportation systems that serve all residents.

About the Role

This role serves as the agency's in-house bicycle and pedestrian planning expert, supporting the safety planning program under the supervision of the Manager of Project Development. The position bridges the gap between technical data analysis and public-facing communication, requiring a professional who is comfortable managing complex projects while contributing to detailed planning work.

You will lead the pedestrian and bicycle count data collection program, manage trend tracking, and maintain historic crash databases. Beyond technical analysis, you will act as a subject matter resource on crash data and safety tools, coordinating with local governments, FDOT, and regional partners. A significant portion of the role involves public engagement, where you will prepare and deliver presentations to technical advisory committees, elected officials, and community groups, serving as the primary liaison for various safety and non-motorized traffic groups.

Work Environment

Based in beautiful downtown Orlando with convenient access to the Church Street SunRail Station, Lymmo service, and LYNX bus stops, the office setting includes some in-field activities. The role requires the ability to work regularly in non-hazardous outdoor weather conditions, move safely over uneven terrain, and wear personal protective gear as required. While most duties are performed at a desk, the position involves stationary work for approximately 50% of the time and the ability to lift and carry up to 25 pounds.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send a cover letter and resume to hr@metroplanorlando.gov or to the Director of Finance & Administration at 250 South Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801. Completion of a MetroPlan Orlando employment application form will be required for those selected for an interview.

All applications must be received by June 5, 2026. The position is open until filled.
