Water Resources Engineer I
We are seeking a motivated Water Resources Engineer I to support the planning, design, analysis, and delivery of water resources projects. This entry-level role is suited to an engineer who is developing practical experience in hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater management, flood risk assessment, drainage, water supply, or related areas. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to projects from initial investigations and feasibility studies through detailed design, permitting, construction support, and completion.
Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses; developing and reviewing drainage, stormwater, floodplain, and water management models; assisting with the design of conveyance systems, detention facilities, channels, culverts, pump stations, and other water infrastructure; and producing calculations, technical reports, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. You will collect and interpret field and survey data, review mapping and available records, support site inspections, and help assess existing infrastructure and proposed improvements. The role will also involve coordinating with project managers, engineers, environmental specialists, surveyors, contractors, regulators, and clients while maintaining clear documentation and meeting project schedules.
Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a closely related discipline. Familiarity with hydrology and hydraulics principles, stormwater practices, engineering design standards, and relevant environmental or drainage regulations is desirable. Experience with modelling, GIS, CAD, spreadsheets, or other engineering software will be valued, although training and mentoring will be provided. Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound technical judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential. Candidates should demonstrate a collaborative approach, a commitment to health and safety, and a willingness to learn and pursue professional registration or equivalent certification. This position offers the opportunity to build technical expertise while contributing to resilient, sustainable, and well-designed water infrastructure.
