Job description

Senior Drainage Engineer, P.E., Orlando, FL
Transportation Drainage & Stormwater / Water Resources | Orlando, FL | Hybrid
Lead FDOT transportation drainage design and stormwater management on some of Florida's most visible highway, roadway, interchange, and bridge projects. In this senior water resources engineering role you will own hydraulic analysis, drainage design, floodplain and stormwater modeling, pond siting, culvert and storm sewer design, and environmental resource permitting from concept through delivery. You will apply industry-standard tools including ICPR, HEC-RAS, MicroStation ORD Drainage, and GeoPAK Drainage to complex FDOT and local-agency drainage projects across Florida.
We are seeking a licensed P.E. with deep FDOT drainage engineering experience in transportation drainage, stormwater management, hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) analysis, drainage permitting through SJRWMD, SFWMD, SWFWMD, NWFWMD, and FDEP, bridge hydraulics, pond siting analysis, and MS4 / stormwater compliance to serve as technical lead and grow our Florida Stormwater / Water Resources practice.
"We're excited to hire a leader for our Stormwater/Water Resources practice to expand our capabilities and reinforce our reputation as an industry leader throughout Florida." Steve Boylan, VP, Florida Business Sector Leader
At GAI you get direct access to leadership, a defined development program, and the stability of a firm that has been solving infrastructure challenges since 1958 with an established FDOT project pipeline and the chance to advance into leadership faster than you might at a larger national firm.
FDOT LEADERSHIP
STATEWIDE IMPACT
ESTABLISHED PROJECT PIPELINE
What You Will Do
  • Serve as technical lead on complex transportation drainage projects including urban corridors, limited-access highways, interchanges, and bridges.
  • Direct stormwater management design, hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) analysis, drainage design, pond siting analyses, and bridge hydraulic reports.
  • Perform and oversee modeling in ICPR, HEC-RAS, MicroStation ORD Drainage, and GeoPAK Drainage.
  • Lead drainage permitting through SJRWMD, SFWMD, SWFWMD, NWFWMD, and FDEP, coordinating directly with agency reviewers and clients.
  • Manage drainage teams across multiple concurrent projects, including scope, schedule, budget, and risk.
  • Mentor engineers and support their licensure and career growth.
  • Partner with leadership on client development and Florida market growth, and represent GAI at industry events.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in civil engineering or a related discipline.
  • Florida P.E. license, or the ability to obtain one by reciprocity.
  • 10+ years of transportation drainage engineering experience, or equivalent depth.
  • Demonstrated FDOT project delivery in Florida.
  • Strong command of stormwater management, hydraulic analysis, drainage design, and transportation permitting.
  • Proven ability to lead teams, build consensus, and make sound engineering and business decisions.
  • Valid driver's license.

Preferred Experience
  • Urban and limited-access roadway drainage design; local government roadway, trail, and multimodal projects.
  • ICPR, HEC-RAS, MicroStation ORD Drainage, and GeoPAK Drainage.
  • Pond siting analysis and bridge hydraulic report preparation.
  • Experience with FDOT Districts 1, 2, 3, 5, or the Turnpike Enterprise.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • An established pipeline. High-visibility FDOT highway, urban roadway, bridge, and trail work across Florida. Experience with Districts 1, 2, 3, 5, or the Turnpike Enterprise is preferred, not required.
  • Real technical authority. You set the drainage approach on complex stormwater, hydraulic, and permitting work.
  • A team to build. Mentor engineers and help shape the growth of GAI's Florida Transportation practice.
  • In-house support. Roadway, bridge, environmental, and planning colleagues one call away.

Location, Travel, and Relocation
Based in our Orlando office on a hybrid schedule of 2-3 days onsite per week. Periodic travel throughout Florida for client meetings, agency coordination, field assessments, and industry events. Relocation assistance is available. Must be authorized to work in the United States, without sponsorship.
Compensation
Salary range: $185,000 to $210,000 per year, plus a sign-on bonus. This range is a good faith estimate at the time of posting. Actual compensation will depend on factors such as education, licensure, qualifications, relevant experience, and current skills.
Benefits
Health and Wellness
Medical, dental, and vision coverage; company-paid life insurance; short- and long-term disability; Employee Assistance Program
Time and Flexibility
Hybrid schedule with 2-3 days onsite per week; generous paid time off; seven paid holidays plus one floating holiday; paid parental and adoption leave
Financial and Growth
401(k) with company match; performance and development bonuses; relocation assistance; tuition reimbursement; licensing and certification support

Apply in under five minutes. We review every application and respond within 24 hours.
