This is an outstanding opportunity for the right person to become involved in building N\N's practice, which is focused on multi-modal transportation planning for livable communities. N\N's work emphasizes creative, innovative transit/transportation planning and community involvement, often within a wider set of goals such as economic development and reduced dependence on the private automobile.

Responsibilities
The successful candidate will work as part of a small professional team focusing on transit and multimodal transportation planning and will assume key roles in project management, marketing and business development. He or she will have the opportunity to work closely with the staff in our San Francisco, Boston and New York offices.
