• Floodplain & Watershed Analysis: Support watershed studies, floodplain analysis, flood mitigation projects, and other water resources evaluations.
• Permitting & Compliance: Assist with local, state, and federal permitting requirements and coordinate with regulatory agencies when needed.
• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with civil engineers, environmental professionals, surveyors, planners, designers, project managers, and clients.
• Project Ownership (Level-Dependent): 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.
