All Things Urban

Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

As a member of Google’s transportation team, you play a key role in Google’s growth. As Google expands its real estate footprint, we do so with the audacious goal of making traffic better as we expand. We believe that roadway improvements such as better bike lanes, pedestrian paths and carefully selected capacity projects can create a better environment for our employees and for the entire community. In this role you will oversee the critical step of advanced ideas from the master planning level into actionable plans for transportation infrastructure. You will bridge the gap between the transportation master planning team, the campus design team and infrastructure team. You'll be involved in forming a vision for the future and prioritizing the transportation improvements to make that happen. You will be looking for opportunities to align with and move forward established city and regional transportation plans, and you will always be looking for solutions that shift users away from driving their personal autos and into forms of shared transportation.

We build and maintain all aspects of what keeps our Googley workspaces operating seamlessly across multiple cities and regions globally.
