Staging Designer - Traffic

The Construction Staging Engineer leads the development and coordination of staged construction solutions for major transit infrastructure projects in Hamilton, ON, Canada. This role supports the phased delivery of the Hamilton LRT corridor through multidisciplinary design integration and constructability planning.

Responsibilities span staging design, traffic accommodation, and corridor coordination across roadway, utilities, transit, and construction disciplines. The role contributes to project phases including design development, contract documentation, and stakeholder review, ensuring staging strategies align with operational, safety, and sequencing requirements. Work is performed within a complex urban corridor environment with active transportation and transit considerations.

The ideal candidate brings 6–10+ years of experience in construction staging, transportation engineering, or roadway design, with demonstrated expertise in multidisciplinary coordination, traffic staging, and implementation of practical, buildable solutions.

• Lead the development of construction staging layouts to support the phased delivery of the Hamilton LRT corridor.
• Coordinate design inputs from Traffic, Roadway, Utilities, Construction, and other multidisciplinary teams to develop practical and implementable staging solutions.
• Prepare detailed construction staging designs, including lane shifts, temporary intersections, detours, pedestrian and cyclist accommodations, transit service adjustments, and access management strategies.
• Develop staging plans that balance traffic operations, safety, constructability, and project delivery requirements while addressing real-world site constraints.
• Interpret and incorporate traffic modelling results, operational analyses, and engineering design criteria into staging solutions.
• Prepare staging memoranda, technical reports, and supporting documentation for design and contract deliverables.
• Contribute to contract documentation to ensure staging approaches align with construction sequencing, procurement requirements, and project specifications.
• Coordinate staging designs with roadway geometry, drainage systems, utilities, transit infrastructure, and other corridor elements to identify and resolve design conflicts.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior designers and CAD staff.
• Support consistency of staging approaches, standards, and design practices across all corridor segments.
• Participate in internal design reviews, interdisciplinary coordination meetings, and constructability assessments.
• Support responses to client, stakeholder, contractor, and review comments throughout project development.
