Are you ready to design the systems that manage stormwater, protect communities, and keep critical infrastructure resilient? My team and I are partnering with a growing, multi-disciplinary engineering firm that is looking for a Water Resources Engineer who wants to take on meaningful projects, work alongside experienced industry professionals, and build a long-term career.
If you enjoy solving complex water resource challenges and want your work to have a tangible impact on communities, this could be an excellent opportunity to explore.
Why This Role Is Different
Your work will help communities manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, protect waterways, and build more resilient infrastructure.
Work on challenging hydrologic and hydraulic problems across a variety of municipal, commercial, transportation, and land development projects.
Collaborate directly with experienced engineers and project leaders while continuing to develop your technical and project management skills.
No two projects are exactly alike. You'll have exposure to drainage systems, floodplain studies, stormwater management, channels, culverts, detention facilities, and other water resources infrastructure.
Grow from a technical contributor into a project manager, technical specialist, or other leadership role as your experience develops.
What You'll Do
Develop water resources and stormwater designs, including drainage systems, detention/retention facilities, channels, culverts, storm sewers, and other related infrastructure.
Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses using industry-standard modeling tools and methodologies.
Prepare engineering calculations, drainage studies, technical reports, plans, specifications, and construction documents.
Support watershed studies, floodplain analysis, flood mitigation projects, and other water resources evaluations.
Assist with local, state, and federal permitting requirements and coordinate with regulatory agencies when needed.
Work closely with civil engineers, environmental professionals, surveyors, planners, designers, project managers, and clients.
Take increasing responsibility for project schedules, budgets, deliverables, client communication, and technical direction as your experience grows.
Who You Are
Education: B.S. in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Credentials: EIT or PE preferred, or actively pursuing licensure.
Experience: Approximately 2–10 years of experience in water resources, stormwater, drainage, hydrology, hydraulics, or related civil engineering.
Technical Skills: Experience with programs such as HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, HydroCAD, SWMM, Civil 3D, GIS, or comparable modeling/design software.
Soft Skills: Strong communicator and problem-solver who enjoys collaborating with others and taking ownership of their work.
