About the role

Cambridge Systematics, Inc. seeks an experienced Senior Planner to lead freight and goods movement analyses across the United States. You will conduct statewide and regional planning studies, economic analyses, and grant development while mentoring junior staff and coordinating with clients and partners. The role emphasizes collaboration with state agencies, MPOs, ports, railroads, and private sector operators, with preferred ties to Southern California allies like SCAG and LA Metro.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
