Job Description

This position will focus on developing and implementing climate adaptation and hazard mitigation strategies for communities across the nation in support of Dewberry clients in the Federal, State, local, and commercial space.

The role will employ and build on an existing portfolio of strategies to include nature-based, hybrid, and gray infrastructure solutions to mitigate an array of climate stressors.

Candidates should have exposure to advancing projects through the engineering design and construction process, with an understanding of constructability and permitting needs.

This role provides an opportunity to join an expanding team with significant growth potential, including career paths in project management and technical leadership.


Dewberry's Resilience Solutions Group features one of the first and most mature climate resilience engineering practices in the country, which uses a systems approach to evaluate hazards, assess risks, and identify solutions to enhance life cycle performance of infrastructure systems and assets.

Our team applies engineering, climate science, geospatial analytics, computational science/informatics, and planning disciplines to help our clients understand their hazard exposure and support risk-based decision-making as part of capital program planning and delivery.

Our mission is to create safer and better communities for everyone.


Dewberry is a leading, market-facing professional services firm with more than 50 locations and 2,000 professionals nationwide. What sets us apart from our competitors is our people. At Dewberry, we seek out exceptional talent and strive to deliver the highest quality of services to our clients.

  • Provide technical support to ongoing and future resilience engineering and planning efforts related to transportation, water, energy, and community facility infrastructure.
  • Support risk and vulnerability analyses of infrastructure considering multiple hazards (e.g., flooding, sea level rise, wind, and heat) and how climate change exacerbates those hazards.
  • Work with a national portfolio of clients to characterize hazard loads, assess operational risks, identify mitigation strategies, and align strategies to funding sources.
  • Apply climate science to inform resilient sectoral planning and design processes, as well as design manuals, policies, codes, and standards.
  • Work on diverse, multi-disciplinary teams to hone technical skills and programmatic knowledge.
  • Collaborate with geospatial, computational science, and informatics colleagues on developing and implementing technology to increase efficiency, communicate effectively, and accelerate innovation.
  • Support the development of project deliverables including technical analyses, report development, project presentations, and communicating findings to clients and stakeholders.
  • Employ a mix of written, visual, and verbal communication techniques to craft compelling narratives and explain complex technical topics to various audiences.
  • Prepare engineering plans, studies, reports, guides, and other technical documents.
  • Apply social equity and environmental justice principles to technical and strategic work. Apply elements of behavioral science and communication to increase the effectiveness of deliverables.
  • Represent Dewberry in meetings with clients and stakeholders to resolve complex issues and to plan and coordinate work.
  • Assist Project Managers with developing technical and business proposals for new projects.
