- Prepare and review drainage plans, profiles, details, calculations, specifications, and technical reports.
- Utilize hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software to evaluate drainage conditions and develop design solutions.
- Collaborate with civil engineers, surveyors, designers, environmental professionals, contractors, clients, and regulatory agencies.
- Assist with or manage schedules, budgets, deliverables, client communication, and project coordination.
Who You Need
- B.S. in Civil Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- EIT or PE preferred, depending on experience and position level.
- 2–10+ years of experience in drainage, stormwater, civil infrastructure, transportation, land development, or related engineering.
