The role involves applying advanced modelling tools and data-driven techniques to optimise passenger flow, station design, and crowd management strategies across various transportation projects

Responsibilities

- Develop, calibrate, and maintain advanced passenger behaviour simulation models across multiple transportation modes, including rail, bus, air, and urban mobility systems.
- Apply both static and dynamic modelling techniques, integrating data-driven insights such as demographics, user preferences, and crowd dynamics to improve accuracy and realism.
- Validate, test, and document simulation models to ensure quality, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams—such as data scientists, software developers, and project managers—to integrate models into products and project deliverables.
- Prepare clear technical reports, visualizations, and presentations to communicate modelling results and insights to clients and stakeholders.
- Engage directly with clients to understand requirements, tailor simulation approaches, and provide technical support throughout implementation.
- Monitor emerging trends and research in passenger behaviour and modelling techniques to continuously improve methodologies.
- Mentor and support junior team members, fostering knowledge-sharing and professional development.
- Foster collaboration across WSP within India and globally.
- Train and mentor junior staff.




- Other duties as assigned/required.

Mandatory Skills

- Proven experience in developing passenger behavior simulation models within transportation, urban planning, or related industries.
- Direct experience in both static and dynamic passenger modelling, such as Legion, Viswalk, and MassMotion will be an asset.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and/or Excel with VBA.
- Robust analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work on complex mathematical models and algorithms.
- Knowledge of data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., MATLAB, R) is a plus.
- Familiarity with transportation systems, crowd dynamics, and human factors is highly advantageous.
- Previous involvement in the development of the Crowd Control Plan (CCP) will be an asset.
- Previous experience in performing passenger movement analysis in major transit facilities will be an asset.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
- Passion for innovation and a desire to contribute to the future of passenger experience in the transportation industry.
- Exposure to international delivery models and remote collaboration.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
