Join Fehr & Peers to provide legal counsel for a team empowered to collaborate, innovate, and develop creative transportation solutions that improve communities. Here, legal is a trusted partner to project managers, not a gatekeeper, and youβll have real influence in managing risk while supporting the delivery of meaningful, impactful work.
We are a transportation planning and engineering firm with 24 offices and more than 400 staff nationwide. Since 1985, we have partnered with public, private, and institutional clients to design and plan safer, more effective ways for people and goods to move. Bringing together data, technology, and the experiences of the communities we serve, we help clients make confident, well-informed decisions.
We are seeking a talented and motivated attorney to join our two-person legal team within our Corporate Services group. Our legal team takes a consultative approach, offering clear advice, thoughtful solutions, and resources that help colleagues make informed decisions.
