A bit about us:

We are a global engineering and program management firm supporting some of the most complex infrastructure programs in the world. Our teams partner directly with public agencies to deliver high-impact transportation, rail, and transit solutions across North America.

This role is part of a flagship program team focused on advancing large-scale rail infrastructure that will have a lasting impact on regional mobility, economic growth, and sustainability.

Why join us?

Career-defining opportunity on a $9B+ marquee rail program
True owner-side authority with executive-level visibility
Ability to shape delivery on one of the most complex transit programs in the country
Highly competitive compensation: $400K–$450K base + bonus + sign-on

Job Details

We are seeking a senior rail executive to step into a high-impact leadership role on a multi-billion-dollar transit program in Los Angeles. This position sits on the owner side, overseeing design-build delivery and driving outcomes across schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment.

This is not a traditional project role — this is a program-level leadership seat with direct visibility to executive stakeholders and influence across one of the most significant rail infrastructure programs in the U.S.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide executive oversight of design-build rail delivery
Act as the owner’s representative across engineering, construction, and program teams
Drive schedule, cost, and risk management at the program level
Lead coordination between contractors, designers, and public stakeholders
Support high-level decision-making, including change management and claims avoidance
Ensure alignment with regulatory, funding, and reporting requirements
