About Toole Design
Toole Design is the leading planning, engineering, and landscape architecture firm specializing in multimodal transportation. Since our start in 2003 as a single office in Maryland, we have expanded throughout the United States. Our talented team of planners, landscape architects, and engineers is committed to delivering quality work that meets the needs of all people, regardless of age, ability, race, or gender. As an Engineering News-Record top 500 design firm, we have also been named a "best firm to work for" and have one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry.
Every project our employees deliver improves our communities. We are industry-leading experts, and we work hard to encourage a collaborative and team-oriented environment.
A Day in the Life of a Project Planner
Our planning group works on a wide range of projects, including Safety Action Plans, Complete Street plans, active transportation plans, transit plans, multimodal corridor studies, and Safe Routes to School (SRTS). You will manage community engagement, as well as planning activities using the Safe System Approach. Familiarity with GIS, equitable engagement practices, and industry design standards will assist in your development of safety and active-transportation initiatives.
As a Project Planner, you will develop relationships with clients and partners, manage exciting and challenging projects, oversee tasks and proposals, lead analyses, represent Toole Design in project and stakeholder meetings, pursue and win work, and reinforce our reputation as trusted experts. You'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver a variety of projects focused on making places and travel experiences better for everyone.
We are targeting a salary range of $70,000 to $80,000 for a Planner II and $80,000 to $90,000 for a Project Planner.
Work Schedule for a Project Planner
This full-time position typically works a flexible schedule of 40 hours a week. Connecticut is one of Toole Design's emerging markets, with a growing team throughout the state. We plan to eventually open an office in Hartford, and at that time, the job will switch to a hybrid schedule of 3 days in office, with the option to work 2 days from home. While this position will currently work a fully remote schedule, applicants should be willing to travel within New England to support project activities, and to the Boston office for company activities, as mutually agreed upon during the job interview/offer process.
