About Sound Transit
Sound Transit is transforming how the Greater Seattle area moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic.

Thanks to voter approval of the largest mass transit expansion in the region’s history, Sound Transit’s light rail system will grow to four times the size it is today. When complete, the 116-mile light rail system will stretch from Everett to Tacoma and connect major job and population centers in Seattle including South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Ballard and West Seattle. It will also extend east to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and Mercer Island.
About Us
We are connecting more people to more places.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the Puget Sound are riding Sound Transit trains and buses every day – 47 million people in 2017, to be exact. And, we’re funded to plan, design and build the largest transit system expansion in the nation. 

Just like any company, we hire a variety of professionals from accountants to real estate professionals, systems and electrical engineers and IT project managers, to architects and graphic designers.

We are growing. 

By 2024, Link light rail will extend east between Seattle, Bellevue and downtown Redmond, north past Northgate all the way to Lynnwood, and south to Federal Way. Sounder commuter rail will also extend south with two new stations. Fast and reliable Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will soon start operations around the region. 

Sound Transit needs creative people who are willing to work hard together to keep us, and the region, moving. 
Sound Transit Life
Driven by transit.

We believe that what makes us great as a company is our people and a shared mission that puts our customers at the center of everything we do. But equally important is the way in which we attain that goal – through collaboration, inclusion and respect so that every voice is heard, and by holding ourselves to a higher standard of safety and quality. 

We’re hiring transportation professionals who want to be part of moving the Puget Sound region into the future.

We've got you covered. 

Healthy employees equal a healthy, more productive company. That’s why we offer two choices of medical plans, dental coverage, a vision plan at no cost and long-term disability and life insurance. 

Additional benefits include: paid time off and holidays, flexible work schedules, an employee assistance program, an ORCA card at no cost, partial tuition reimbursement, one-on-one retirement counseling and an on-site gym.
Equity Inclusion
A culture of inclusion and respect.

We know that a diverse workforce makes us stronger as a company. Partnerships with local universities, professional organizations and those serving transitioning military are one way that we ensure diverse perspectives in our workforce and that we are representative of the communities that we serve. 

We are also committed to recruiting and retaining people of color, women and other minority groups, especially in underrepresented fields.

Employee resource groups. 

A welcoming community is important for all employees. Sound Transit’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are helping to grow and sustain a diverse workforce, inclusive culture and equitable work environment.
