Hiring a Transit Innovator!

---

Transit Innovator (transit technology focused!) 

Left Turn Right Turn (LTRT) is a rapidly growing consulting firm. We’re passionate about improving communities through the collaborative exploration of solutions in transit and accessibility. Our mission is to get people out of cars and onto transit. We pride ourselves on offering Pragmatic Solutions. Visionary Transformation. (Alright, so it’s a bit cheesy…. but we like to think it’s true!!). The LTRT team is creative, collaborative, and balanced. These are our hard-fought values that embody our approach to everything.

More information about our culture, compensation and what it's REALLY like to work with us can be found on our website.

Responsibilities 

As a Transit Innovator you would tackle a wide variety of projects, apply your smarts, experience, and creativity with our fun and dynamic team. You would actively engage in business development and foster relationships with clients. You’d bring a particular passion for transit technology, but would also get involved in many other kinds of projects. Your responsibilities would include:

• Research
• Developing technical specifications and system architectures
• Helping agencies with procurements and implementations
• Operational, financial, and other data analysis
• Coming up with innovative strategies and documenting them in beautiful reports
• Presentations and workshop development and delivery
• Proposal development
• Project management and implementation oversight

Typical assignments involve researching best practices, developing strategic recommendations, eliciting requirements, helping with procurements, and managing vendors on behalf of an agency. 

Occasional travel may be required as our clients are spread across the continent.

 Here’s some examples of how we are influencing transit: 

• We are developing a holistic real-time transit information system strategy for TransLink. We are looking not just at the technology and data, but also at the governance and organizational changes needed to make it happen.
• We undertook comprehensive service reviews and planning exercises for Grand River Transit, Chatham-Kent, Bracebridge, Halton Hills, London Transit, and others to suggest meaningful improvements to how transit services are delivered to customers.
• We got into the details with technology innovation projects for the TTC, Ann Arbor, Strathcona, Durham Region, and many others.
• We developed a provincial framework for how on-demand services should be designed and delivered in BC (yes, the whole province!)
• We completed a top-secret review of a transport service to figure out how to make it run better (or if it shouldn’t be operating at all?!)

Qualifications

Do you have some or all of the following:

• 3-10 years of professional experience is desirable.
• Degree in Engineering, IT, Urban Design, Business, Urban Planning, or related experience.
• Exceptional analytical skills to determine root problems and come up with solutions.
• Excellent writing and communication skills, with a knack for translating technical concepts to a non-technical audience.
• Advanced Excel skills are an asset.
• Ability to work independently as well as in team environments.
• Know and have a passion for public transit issues; transit industry experience is considered an asset.
• Have interests outside of work and a willingness to play a board game now and again.  
• We are open to candidates across Canada. Newer professionals would need to live near our current offices, Greater Toronto Hamilton Area and Prince Edward Island.

We are committed to reflecting the diversity of our communities and to supporting all our people to do their best work and be their whole selves. We encourage candidates from all walks of life to apply, including Indigenous folks, people with disabilities, racialized candidates, and 2SLGBTQ candidates.
