Director of Water Resources
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with actual content.
Let's parse the posting.
Job title: Director of Water Resources (not to be repeated as heading). We need to include sections.
Content:
- About the role: The first paragraph: "Waggoner Engineering, Inc. is seeking a Director of Water Resources to play a key leadership role in our established and expanding Water Resources practice, recognized for delivering high-quality, innovative solutions. This position offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated leader to shape and expand a discipline that serves multiple markets and consistently delivers innovative, resilient, and community-focused solutions across the region."
That's about the role.
- Compensation & Benefits: Base Salary: Competitive, commensurate with experience (should not include because it's vague "commensurate with experience" - we should not create Pay section if only vague? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Base Salary is vague, but there is also a signing bonus of $10,000 with clawback provision. That's specific. So we can include Benefits section maybe? The rule: Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does mention signing bonus, clawback provision. Also later under "Why Join Our Team" they list benefits: WEI Incentive Program, Healthy Workplace Program, Employee Referral Bonus, Competitive Health Benefits, Career Development and Training, Flexible/Hybrid Schedule, Community Service Opportunities, Worldwide Travel Assistance. Those are benefits. So we can have Benefits section with those items.
Pay: Should we include Pay? Base salary is vague; we might omit Pay section because it's not specific. The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Base salary is stated but vague; but it's still stated. However they said avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". That is filler. So we should not create Pay section if only that. So we omit Pay.
Schedule: They mention "Position Type/Expected Hours of Work: This is a full-time position. May require long hours and some weekend work." Also later "Flexible/Hybrid Schedule" under benefits. So we have some schedule info: full-time, may require long hours and some weekend work. That's specific enough? Not vague like "varies". It's actual. So we can include Schedule section.
Responsibilities: list of essential functions.
Requirements: maybe "What You'll Need" includes required education, licensure, experience, other knowledge and skills. Could split into Requirements (education, licensure, experience) and Skills (other knowledge and skills). But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for education/licensure/experience. Qualifications maybe for certifications? Or we could combine. But we need to avoid empty sections.
Let's extract:
About the role: as above.
Responsibilities: bullet list of essential functions:
- Provide strategic leadership for Waggoner’s Water Resources discipline, including watershed planning, stormwater engineering, H&H modeling, and flood mitigation services.
- Lead business development efforts by identifying opportunities, pursuing key clients, preparing proposals, and serving as a trusted advisor to municipalities, counties, state agencies, and private clients.
- Oversee delivery of high-quality, technically sound projects, ensuring strong QA/QC, innovative solutions, and on-time, on-budget performance.
- Offer senior-level technical guidance on hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, watershed studies, stormwater systems, drainage analysis, and FEMA/NFIP-related work.
- Mentor, motivate, and grow a team of engineers and project managers, fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture across multiple locations.
- Manage discipline performance, including staffing, utilization, backlog, profitability, and resource planning.
- Coordinate closely with other service areas including Water, Wastewater, Transportation, Environmental, and GIS to support integrated project delivery and strategic pursuits.
- Represent the Water Resources discipline in leadership discussions, contributing to firmwide strategy, innovation, and growth initiatives.
- Supervisor Responsibility: This position has supervisory responsibility for a technical team that includes engineers, designers/technicians, and/or watershed planners. (maybe include as responsibility)
- Work Environment: This job generally operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, filing cabinets and fax machines. (maybe not responsibility but could be under About? But we can include as part of responsibilities? Probably better to keep as separate? But we don't have a heading for Work Environment. Could include under About the role? Might be okay to include in About? But we already have About. Could add as a paragraph under About? Might be okay. However we should not invent sections. We could keep Work Environment as part of About? Not ideal. But we can include as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay.
But we have to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include Work Environment somewhere. Could add a short paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? It's not a responsibility. Could add a separate section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect only those headings. So we must fit all content into those sections. Work Environment could go under About the role or Responsibilities. I'd put under About the role as additional detail.
Position Type/Expected Hours of Work: full-time, may require long hours and some weekend work. That's schedule.
Travel: Travel is primarily local during the business day, although some projects and initiatives may require more out-of-the-area and overnight travel. That could be under Schedule as well.
What You'll Need: Required Education, Licensure, Certifications, Required Experience, Other Knowledge And Skills.
We can split: Requirements: Education, Licensure, Experience. Skills: Other Knowledge And Skills (communication, knowledge of regulatory, tools, problem-solving). Qualifications maybe for certifications? But we have certifications applicable to civil engineering, hydrology and hydraulics desired (e.g. CPESC, CFM). Could go under Qualifications.
Thus:
- About the role: includes introductory paragraph plus work environment.
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions + supervisory responsibility.
- Requirements: Education (Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related field), Licensure (PE licensure; if not licensed in MS, ability within six months; ability to obtain licensure in other states where Waggoner practices within reasonable timeframe), Experience (Ten years of professional engineering experience in water resources, stormwater management, and/or watershed planning; knowledge of watershed-based planning, H&H modeling, stormwater design; proven success managing/completing complex projects for local, state, federal clients; experience leading/managing engineering teams; successful track record in business development).
- Qualifications: Certifications applicable to civil engineering, hydrology and hydraulics desired (e.g. CPESC, CFM). Possibly also include "Licensure or ability to obtain licensure as a PE in other states where Waggoner practices, within a reasonable timeframe." but that's already in Requirements.
- Skills: Other Knowledge And Skills: excellent verbal/written communication, ability to present complex concepts; knowledge of programmatic and regulatory state/federal agency interests (USACE, NRCS, EPA, USGS, FEMA) and ability to connect; working knowledge of H&H modeling tools, GIS platforms, design software; ability to identify appropriate approaches/tools; strong problem-solving abilities with focus on creative, resilient, data-driven solutions.
- Benefits: list from Why Join Our Team: WEI Incentive Program, Healthy Workplace Program, Employee Referral Bonus, Competitive Health Benefits, Career Development and Training, Flexible/Hybrid Schedule, Community Service Opportunities, Worldwide Travel Assistance. Also signing bonus $10,000 with clawback provision? That's compensation; maybe we could include under Benefits as well? But we have no Pay section. Could include signing bonus under Benefits? It's a financial benefit. Could include as part of Benefits. But we need to avoid Pay section. We'll include signing bonus under Benefits as a bullet.
- Schedule: full-time, may require long hours and some weekend work; travel primarily local during business day, some out-of-area/overnight travel.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Other Duties Please note this job description is not designed to cover..." etc. Also remove "Why Join Our Team About We know work isn't only about what you do..." but we extracted benefits.
Also remove "Supervisor Responsibility" line? We incorporated into responsibilities.

First, About the role: two paragraphs? Could combine into one
