- Assist with the marketing of the firm’s capabilities to establish new clients and enhance relationships with existing clients
- Coordinate with other internal departments to meet project requirements
- Drive the profitability and growth of projects
- Support marketing and business development efforts by showcasing modeling and water resources capabilities to new and existing clients
- Collaborate with senior engineers, regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and design teams on technical issues related to hydrology and hydraulics
- Apply advanced and diversified knowledge of hydrologic and hydraulic engineering principles across a wide range of project types
- Develop, calibrate, and apply 1D and 2D hydrologic/hydraulic models (e.g., HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS 1D/2D, Flo2D, SRH-2D, TUFLOW, PCSWMM, StormCAD) for rainfall–runoff, channel hydraulics, floodplain delineation, and stormwater infrastructure evaluation
- Conduct watershed-scale and site-scale analyses, including hydrologic parameter calibration (CN, infiltration, lag time, baseflow) using gage records, LiDAR, and soil datasets
- Generate and refine 2D computational meshes, break lines, and boundary conditions; conduct sensitivity analyses to evaluate flood depth, velocity, and scour potential
- Prepare CLOMR/LOMR packages and coordinate with FEMA and regulatory agencies for floodplain mapping, compliance, and permitting
- Integrate GIS and scripting tools (ArcGIS/QGIS) with hydrologic/hydraulic models for terrain processing, land cover classification, and spatial data analysis
- Apply statistical hydrology techniques such as Bulletin 17C frequency analysis, NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation studies, and regional regression equations
- Provide design input for stormwater BMPs, detention/retention systems, and green infrastructure with a focus on hydrologic/hydraulic performance
- Prepare technical memoranda, hydrographs, reports, and model documentation for agency and client submittals
- Communicate complex modeling results to multidisciplinary teams, stakeholders, and regulators, and provide defensible recommendations
Skills
- Master's Degree in Hydrology, Water Resources, or Civil/Environmental Engineering with a focus on surface water processes required
- Eight or more (8+) years of professional experience applying 1D and 2D hydrologic/hydraulic models to complex watershed and site-scale projects
- Advanced experience with HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS (1D/2D), and other modeling platforms (Flo2D, SRH-2D, TUFLOW, PCSWMM, StormCAD)
- Proficiency in hydrologic parameter development and calibration using gage data, LiDAR, and soils datasets
- Strong GIS integration skills with QGIS/ArcGIS for terrain processing, land cover, and model inputs
- Experience with CLOMR/LOMR preparation and coordination with FEMA
- Knowledge of stormwater BMP design, detention/retention, and green infrastructure analysis
- Familiarity with statistical hydrology, including Bulletin 17C, NOAA Atlas 14, and regional regression approaches
- Experience preparing technical reports and compliance documentation for local, state, and federal agencies
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Projects)
- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
