About the Role

Parsons Corporation is seeking a Roadway Engineer to join its team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This full-time position involves developing and reviewing roadway improvement concepts and designs, contributing to safe, constructible, and standards-compliant infrastructure across the city.

Role Context and Objectives

The Roadway Engineer will be responsible for translating traffic management findings into practical roadway design solutions. This includes addressing geometric and physical deficiencies that constrain traffic performance through close collaboration with traffic engineers, corridor assessment teams, civil engineers, ITS specialists, and RCRC stakeholders. The role requires practical roadway design judgment to progress solutions from field observation and concept development into coordinated design packages suitable for implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop roadway improvement concepts and design packages from conceptual through preliminary and final design stages.
• Prepare and review horizontal and vertical geometry, lane configurations, medians, turn lanes, auxiliary lanes, channelization, access modifications, service roads, ramps, merge and diverge areas, and localized intersection improvements.
• Translate corridor assessments, traffic studies, field observations, and operational recommendations into practical roadway design solutions.
• Conduct site investigations and review existing roadway geometry, pavement, drainage, barriers, signs, markings, utilities, pedestrian facilities, access conditions, and constructability constraints.
• Apply current Saudi and internationally recognized roadway design standards and criteria appropriate to the project and design stage.
• Prepare conceptual sketches, typical sections, plan layouts, design calculations, quantities, technical notes, and supporting engineering documentation.
• Coordinate roadway improvements with traffic signal equipment, ITS devices, lighting, drainage, utilities, structures, landscaping, pedestrian facilities, public transport stops, and other affected infrastructure.
• Evaluate alternative geometric solutions and identify tradeoffs involving safety, capacity, right-of-way, cost, constructability, operations, and implementation complexity.
• Support development of quick-win improvements that can be implemented through markings, signs, minor civil works, access changes, or localized widening.
• Review consultant and contractor roadway design submissions and provide clear technical comments addressing compliance, geometry, safety, constructability, and traffic operations.
• Support quantity development, technical specifications, BOQ inputs, cost estimates, and implementation packages for roadway improvements.
• Coordinate with CADD/design staff to ensure drawings accurately reflect approved engineering concepts and revisions.
• Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews, technical workshops, and RCRC coordination meetings.
• Support construction-stage technical queries, site inspections, design clarifications, and resolution of unforeseen field conditions.
• Verify that completed improvements and as-built information are consistent with the approved design intent and operational objectives.

Qualifications and Experience

Candidates for this role should possess 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in roadway engineering and design. The position requires a proven ability to develop and review roadway improvement concepts and designs, from initial operational treatments through final design stages.

Required Skills and Knowledge

• Practical roadway design judgment.
• Ability to progress solutions from field observation and concept development into coordinated design packages.
• Proficiency in applying current Saudi and internationally recognized roadway design standards and criteria.
• Strong coordination skills for interdisciplinary design reviews and stakeholder engagement.
• Capability to evaluate alternative geometric solutions and identify tradeoffs.
• Experience in reviewing design submissions and providing clear technical comments.

Company Culture

At Parsons, the culture is guided by a vision that values people, embraces agility, and fosters growth. The company cultivates an innovative environment designed to empower employees to achieve their full potential.
