Whether we are reviewing new construction documents for 21st century buildings, or upgrading aging infrastructure from the 20th and sometimes the 19th centuries, there is always a variety of assignments to keep the work interesting.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and analyze water, wastewater and stormwater hydraulic and hydrology models.
• Calibrate models using field data, modeling what-if scenarios for future growth and expansion of utility systems.
• Maintain multiple water distribution systems hydraulic models. Systems include culinary and secondary water.
• Utilize GIS software for modeling, mapping, data collection, analysis and decision-making support.
• Perform hydrologic/watershed modeling, stormwater modeling, and rain-on-grid pluvial modeling.
• Conduct plan and project reviews. Review design and construction plans for conformance with policies, standards, and accepted engineering practices; meet with architects, engineers, and developers to provide review of development concepts and design.
• Provide technical support during construction, including site visits and addressing field issues.
• Assessment and evaluation of utility and infrastructure data including evaluating record and as-built drawings, maintenance and operations data, and field data.
• Prepare reports for completed work and contribute to business development efforts, including proper archiving and documentation of program data.
• Achieve project/Task management, including reporting to project managers and completing assignments within budget and schedule constraints.
