  • Strong written and oral communication skills. Ability to not only produce accurate construction documents, but also explain to a variety of audiences with varying technical understanding why particular design approaches were chosen.

What will make you stand out?

  • PE License in any of the mentioned states.
  • Masters degree in engineering with a water resources or environmental focus.
  • Exposure to stream natural channel design, and wetland restoration design.
  • Experience preparing floodplain analyses, hydraulic and hydrology (H/H) investigation, groundwater hydrology, as well as stream and wetland biological functionality.
