- Structure, validate, and clean datasets received from clients and data collection firms before analysis.
- Produce tables and charts presenting results for reports and client presentations.

Traffic Simulation and Modeling

- Prepare calculation files in specialized traffic software such as Synchro, Aimsun, and Vissim, including network coding, import of speed and flow data, and traffic signal timing configuration.
- Perform vehicle turning simulations using AutoTURN and prepare supporting figures.
- Conduct consistency checks and basic quality control reviews on modeling files before submission to the responsible engineer.
- Document assumptions, versions, and data sources to ensure analysis traceability.

Graphic and Cartographic Production

- Produce plans and conceptual diagrams representing planning and design concepts.
- Create figures and maps illustrating mobility concepts, including networks, routes, flows, typical sections, service areas, and phasing.
- Contribute to the development of standardized graphic templates (maps, figures, and tables) for reuse in reports.
- Monitor and ensure consistency of the visual identity across all graphic deliverables.
- Support the production of visual materials for proposals and public presentations.

Collaboration

- Participate in project kick-off and progress meetings with Quebec teams.
- Quickly integrate review comments from engineers and project managers.




- Propose improvements to templates, workflows, and graphic libraries to improve production efficiency.
