You will work in the Sustainable Mobility team, which consists of professionals in sustainable urban transport. The team's expertise covers pedestrian traffic, cycling, micro-mobility, public transport, traffic safety, traffic calming, mobility management, and traffic control and signage planning. We are primarily looking for a public transport expert with experience specifically in bus traffic planning. We seek a professional for strategic-level public transport reports and plans, including line plans, service level definitions, organization method reports, public transport development reports, etc. We also value experience in more detailed route and schedule planning. We require that you have played a significant role in public transport projects, e.g., as a lead designer or project manager. In addition to public transport expert tasks, your duties include project management, sparring with younger designers, as well as client, sales, and tendering work. We operate in diverse and various-sized report and design tasks across Finland. Significant ongoing projects currently include the tram projects in Turku, Tampere, and the capital region, where sustainable urban transport is being developed more broadly. Our expertise covers all design phases from strategic and preliminary design to construction design. Seamless cooperation and our flat organization ensure success in every project. We work according to a hybrid work model, flexibly combining remote and office work. Join our good-spirited and professional crew!

We support, value, and encourage each other. High-quality supervisory work is one of our strengths. Transforming society together.
