As part of our Rail & Transit team, you will help shape high-performing transit environments across Canada. This hybrid role, based in any major Canadian city, puts you at the heart of projects that move people safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain sophisticated passenger behaviour simulation models for rail, bus, aviation, and urban mobility systems.
- Lead both static and dynamic passenger flow modelling using software such as LEGION, Viswalk, and MassMotion.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineering, architecture, landscape, and safety, to design integrated and human-centric simulation environments.
- Conduct rigorous validation, calibration, and testing to ensure simulation reliability, accuracy, and alignment with industry standards.
- Produce high-quality data visualizations, analyses, technical reports, and presentations for client and internal use.
- Support client engagement by translating modelling outcomes into clear, actionable insights.
- Stay current on crowd dynamics, human-factors research, and modelling best practices, and apply them to elevate project outcomes.
- Contribute to design reviews, innovation sessions, and mobility planning problem-solving activities.
- Support multiple passenger modelling projects, advising, guiding and overseeing outputs from junior/intermediate staff.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in passenger modelling or agent-based simulation within transportation, mobility, or urban planning environments.
- Proficiency in LEGION, Viswalk, MassMotion, or CAST modelling and strong capability in Python and Excel/VBA for analysis and automation.
- Experience modelling major transit facilities and/or involvement in developing Crowd Control Plans (CCPs).
- Strong analytical mindset with comfort navigating complex algorithms and mathematical models.
- Knowledge of MATLAB or R for data visualization and interpretation.
