- Execute and oversee modeling studies of inland, coastal, and nearshore dynamics, focused on urban flooding, urban stormwater networks, coastal/riverine flooding and/or wave action.
- Execute and oversee hydrological analysis, 2D stormwater simulation, and watershed modeling and design stormwater management systems.
- Collaborate with clients, stakeholders, and project teams to determine project scope, budget, and timeline, resulting in the successful execution and delivery of projects.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, and professional engineering licensure. Master’s degree preferred.

- Experience with flood and risk modeling packages such as SWMM5, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS 1D & 2D, Mike+, and/or HAZUS is preferred.
- Experience with flood mitigation design (using ASCE24, ASCE7), climate hazard analysis, and multi-disciplinary coordination is preferred.
- Experience with Python or similar languages is a plus.
- Experience with Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, SketchUp and Photoshop is a plus.
- 3D Modeling, Rhino, and/or Grasshopper experience is a plus.
- Experience with compound flood modeling, i.e., coastal storm surge plus pluvial flooding, is a plus.
- Outstanding people skills.
