Water Resources Engineer PE

Reference: ofi5aw3qn9ystokjsewr

We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer PE to support the planning, design, and delivery of water resources and civil infrastructure projects. This role will involve applying sound engineering principles to stormwater management, floodplain analysis, drainage systems, water quality improvement, watershed planning, and related hydraulic and hydrologic studies. The successful candidate will work with multidisciplinary teams, clients, regulatory agencies, and project stakeholders to develop practical, compliant, and cost-effective solutions.

Key responsibilities include preparing and reviewing technical reports, calculations, plans, specifications, and permit applications; performing hydrologic and hydraulic modelling; evaluating drainage networks, culverts, channels, detention facilities, and other water control structures; and supporting the design of green infrastructure and resilient water management systems. You will manage assigned tasks and project deliverables, monitor schedules and budgets, contribute to proposals and fee estimates, and provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers. The role may also include site inspections, construction support, field data collection, and coordination with contractors and public agencies.

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in civil, environmental, or water resources engineering and possess an active Professional Engineer licence, preferably with the ability to obtain additional state or regional registrations as required. A strong understanding of applicable drainage, floodplain, stormwater, and water quality regulations is essential. Experience with industry-standard modelling, design, and drafting software, such as HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SWMM, Civil 3D, or comparable platforms, is highly desirable. Strong technical writing, communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently and collaborate effectively. Experience delivering water resources projects from concept through construction, together with a commitment to quality, safety, sustainability, and professional development, will be valued.
