Manage design and planning tasks for regional high capacity corridor projects in the FTA Capital Investment Grant program, including alternatives analysis, development of Locally Preferred Alternative, conceptual design, cost estimating, project development and risk assessment. Lead, produce, and/or manage development of specific alternative analysis products including conceptual designs, urban design, ADA improvements, transit station layout and designs, conceptual capital and operations cost estimates (independently and/or in support of estimating engineers), travel times, impact narratives and other products as needed. Provide coordination between TriMet and partnering and government agencies and lead TriMet's participation in design efforts for major planning studies and projects. Ensure intra-agency coordination as needed. Understand and reflect, in all planning and conceptual design efforts and products, equity, safety and operational needs of TriMet services, as well as, the capital and operational cost implications of alternatives.This position requires three (3) days a week in office.Ensure a commitment to safety through consistent and professional behaviors in performance of job requirements that demonstrate safety is a fundamental value that guides all aspects of our work.
