Water Resources Project Engineer I
We are seeking a Water Resources Project Engineer I to support the planning, design, and delivery of water resources and civil engineering projects. This entry-level role is suited to an emerging professional who is eager to develop technical expertise while contributing to projects involving stormwater management, flood control, drainage, water supply, watershed planning, and related infrastructure. You will work collaboratively with engineers, scientists, surveyors, contractors, clients, and regulatory agencies to help deliver practical, sustainable solutions.
Key responsibilities include assisting with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling; preparing engineering calculations, technical reports, plans, specifications, cost estimates, and permit applications; reviewing survey information and existing infrastructure data; supporting field investigations, inspections, and construction activities; and helping evaluate alternatives for drainage, flood mitigation, and water resources improvements. You will use computer-aided design, geographic information systems, spreadsheets, and industry-standard modelling software to analyse data and prepare project deliverables. The role may also involve attending meetings, communicating with project stakeholders, tracking schedules and budgets, and supporting quality control reviews.
A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a closely related discipline is required. Candidates should have strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, along with an interest in developing a career in water resources engineering. Familiarity with hydrology and hydraulics principles, stormwater design, engineering drawings, technical software, and applicable regulations is advantageous. The ability to manage multiple assignments, work effectively within a team, maintain accurate records, and meet deadlines is essential. An engineering-in-training certification or eligibility to obtain one is preferred. Occasional travel to project sites and fieldwork may be required.
