  • Serve as a technical leader and internal resource for water resources across multiple projects
  • Mentor junior staff and provide quality control on modeling and design deliverables
  • Translate complex H&H analyses into clear, actionable insights for clients and stakeholders

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering
  • PE license in Florida (or ability to obtain within 12 months)
  • 8+ years of experience in hydrologic/hydraulic engineering within land development or related fields
  • Proven track record of projects that have been permitted and constructed
  • Strong experience with ICPR and BMPTrains (HEC-RAS, SWMM a plus)
  • Experience with FEMA permitting and floodplain coordination (preferred)
  • Proficiency with ArcGIS for data development and model inputs
  • Familiarity with Civil 3D (preferred, not required)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences

  • Strong critical thinking and judgment to evaluate solutions and make decisions
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Strong time management skills to deliver projects on schedule and within budget
  • A proactive, positive, and team-oriented approach
