Position Overview — Traffic Engineer (m/f/d), SSP-BUNG Hamburg
This Traffic Engineer (m/f/d) at SSP-BUNG GmbH in Hamburg prepares and supports preliminary investigations, feasibility studies, preliminary design proposals, and tender documents for traffic telematics infrastructure projects — plans and designs modern traffic telematics systems for regional and urban transport networks — independently handles telecommunications and electrical engineering planning for motorways, federal and state roads, and ITS — participates in construction management and supervision of road traffic, ICT, and ITS projects from planning to commissioning — and coordinates closely with clients from federal, state, and local governments and other project participants — in a Hamburg-based engineering consultancy that combines traditional expertise with digital technology to shape the future of Germany’s transport infrastructure.
Why This Role Matters: As Traffic Engineer at SSP-BUNG in Hamburg, the telematics systems and intelligent transport infrastructure you plan and design are the digital nervous system of Germany’s road network — the tunnel control systems that detect incidents in motorway tunnels and trigger the ventilation, lighting, and signal sequences that protect drivers in the minutes between an incident and emergency services arriving, the traffic control systems that manage variable speed limits and lane closures on autobahns during accidents and roadworks in a way that reduces secondary collisions and keeps traffic flowing as efficiently as the situation allows, and the telecommunications cable infrastructure that carries the sensor data, CCTV feeds, and control signals that allow traffic management centres to have real-time awareness of what is happening on hundreds of kilometres of federal and state road network simultaneously. When your telematics planning for a tunnel control upgrade correctly specifies the detection loop intervals and communication latency requirements that allow the tunnel management system to respond to an incident within the 30-second response time that the safety specification requires, your ICT cable route design correctly avoids the utility conflict that would have required an expensive redesign during construction, or your coordination with the Autobahn GmbH project team correctly identifies a scope ambiguity in the Leistungsverzeichnis before the tender is issued — you are not designing telecoms infrastructure. You are building the safety and operational intelligence of transport systems that millions of drivers depend on every day. That is the engineering consequence and genuine public value of excellent Traffic Engineering at SSP-BUNG.
Key Responsibilities — Your Tasks at SSP-BUNG
