TRAFFIC ENGINEER / TRANSPORT ECONOMIST @ ICT
ICT is recruiting a Traffic Engineer / Transport Economist for a major infrastructure project in Kenya. The project focuses on the Feasibility Studies and Preliminary Engineering Design of the Embomoss – Koiwa – Chebole – Siongiroi – Labotiet – Gorgor – Ambosi – Dikkirr – Kilgoris – Enoosaen – Anganga – Mariwa Road. This 143 km project includes the engineering design of associated civil works for Fibre Optic Cable installation under a Design-Build project delivery framework. Work locations include Embomoss, Koiwa, Chebole, Siongiroi, Labotiet, Gorgor, Ambosi, Dikkirr, Kilgoris, Enoosaen, Anganga, and Mariwa.
The successful candidate will be responsible for comprehensive traffic data collection programs, including classified traffic counts and origin-destination surveys. Key tasks involve traffic forecasting for 20-year evaluation periods, economic evaluation using HDM-4 software, and vehicle operating cost estimation. The role requires a highly experienced professional capable of conducting capacity analysis for intersections and road sections using recognized methodologies like the Highway Capacity Manual. This is a 5-month assignment requiring significant expertise in transport infrastructure investments.
