Transport is at the heart of Egypt’s growth. Every day, millions of people in Cairo and other cities navigate crowded roads or squeeze onto metro lines that are expanding to keep up with demand. With a population that has now passed 116 million and continues to grow, the need for reliable and sustainable transport systems is stronger than ever.
Transport engineering jobs play an important role in shaping Egypt’s future. These engineers keep cities moving, link communities, and help to create a more modernised and sustainable future for the nation.
For professionals looking at transport engineering jobs in Egypt, the opportunity is clear. You’ll be part of projects that address real challenges while contributing to national sustainability goals under Egypt’s Vision 2030. Here, we’ll explore how AtkinsRéalis in Cairo is the perfect environment to grow your transportation engineering career.
What is the role of a transport engineer in Egypt?
Transport engineers in Egypt are responsible for creating, developing, and improving the infrastructure that keeps people and goods moving. This covers everything from highways and rail systems to bridges and urban transit solutions.
At AtkinsRéalis, transport engineers in Cairo work as part of our Global Technology Center (GTC). This hub of engineering excellence, which expanded in 2024, supports projects not only in Egypt but across the Middle East and beyond. Being part of this team means contributing to end-to-end design and engineering, with daily exposure to international colleagues.
Typical responsibilities of transportation engineers in Egypt can include:
- Designing complex highway interchanges or metro alignments using Civil 3D, OpenRoads Designer, and MicroStation
- Checking designs against international standards like AASHTO or DMRB while tailoring them to Egypt’s specific conditions
- Coordinating with local authorities and global teams to keep delivery on track
- Mentoring junior engineers and helping them to develop technical skills and confidence
How transport engineering jobs in Egypt are addressing mobility challenges
Egypt’s mobility challenges are varied and tied to daily life. They shape how long commuters spend on the road, how safely the public can move, and how businesses move goods across the country. Transport engineers in Cairo are tackling these issues head-on. Here are just a few examples of the biggest challenges Egypt is facing.
Congestion in growing cities
Cairo is one of the most congested cities in the world, with millions of vehicles using roads built for far smaller populations. Between long commutes and delays in goods being delivered, this can impact quality of life. Transportation engineers are easing pressure by designing better road systems and expanding metro capacity.
Aging infrastructure
Much of Egypt’s road and bridge network was built decades ago and is under increasing strain, leading to delays and inefficiencies. With $4.6 billion invested by the government in an effort to improve roads and railways, transport engineers have a huge influence on projects that modernise the transportation systems of Egypt.
Sustainability goals
Egypt Vision 2030 highlights the need for infrastructure that is not only efficient but sustainable. Climate resilience is a growing priority as Egypt faces challenges like water scarcity. Engineers are embedding sustainability into their designs, improving drainage, utilising low-carbon practices, and ensuring new networks are built to last the long haul.
Road and rail safety
Accidents on highways and rail lines remain a concern due to poor infrastructure. By modernising systems and improving design, transportation engineers are working to reduce risks and make everyday travel safer.
Egypt transport engineering jobs with global impact
Working as a transport engineer in Cairo doesn’t just mean having a hand in local projects. One of the unique benefits of our global delivery model is the international reach of the Cairo GTC. While based in Cairo, professionals could be contributing design expertise to a metro system in the Gulf, or collaborating with teams as far-afield as the UK and Canada.
This global exposure gives transport engineers in Egypt the chance to apply their expertise to rail, metro, and highway projects around the world. This has the duel-benefit of global best practices being brought back into Egypt’s own infrastructure projects. It’s an opportunity to accelerate your transport engineering career while seeing the impact of your work on the international stage.
