Flood Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a flood engineer?

A Flood Engineer needs a strong background in civil or environmental engineering, with expertise in hydrology, hydraulics, and flood risk assessment, typically supported by relevant engineering degrees or licensure. Familiarity with modeling software such as HEC-RAS, GIS systems, and relevant safety or engineering certifications is crucial. Exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly make professionals stand out in this field. These qualifications are essential for designing effective flood mitigation solutions and ensuring public safety in flood-prone environments.

What are some common challenges faced by flood engineers on the job?

Flood Engineers often deal with unpredictable weather events, complex site conditions, and evolving environmental regulations, which require adaptability and continuous learning. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—including urban planners, government agencies, and the public—is also a key part of the role, sometimes requiring negotiation and consensus-building. Additionally, balancing technical, budgetary, and timeline constraints while ensuring public safety can be challenging. However, these challenges make the role dynamic and provide significant opportunities for professional growth and meaningful contributions to community resilience.

What is a flood engineer?

A Flood Engineer is a specialized civil or environmental engineer who assesses, designs, and implements solutions to manage flood risks. They analyze hydrological data, develop flood models, and design infrastructure such as levees, drainage systems, and flood barriers. Their work helps mitigate damage from heavy rainfall, rising water levels, and climate change-related flooding. Flood Engineers collaborate with government agencies, urban planners, and environmental experts to ensure communities are protected.

Job description

Taylor Engineering is seeking a motivated entry-level (civil, coastal, environmental, water resources, or other relevant degree) to join our nationally recognized floodplain mapping team onsite in Jacksonville, Florida supporting efforts to reduce flood risk and protect communities. You'll receive real-world training in hydrology, hydraulics, and GIS, while helping shape the maps that inform disaster planning, insurance, and infrastructure decisions across the U.S.
This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to be mentored by top coastal and water resource professionals, contribute to high-impact national work, and build a meaningful, long-term career.
Due to federal contract requirements, only U.S. citizens will be considered for this position. Candidates on student and/or work visas or other authorizations (e.g., OPT, H1B, GreenCards/permanent residency) are not eligible.
As a Coastal or Water Resources Engineer, you'll work with experienced engineers and scientists to:
  • Review Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) requests to evaluate proposed changes to flood hazard data.
  • Analyze hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) and/or coastal models for technical soundness.
  • Contribute to model development, mapping support, and technical documentation.
  • Ensure compliance with NFIP technical standards and other governmental regulations.
  • Communicate your findings clearly in written reports and with project stakeholders.
  • Learn industry-standard tools and contribute to a collaborative, mission-driven team.
  • Grow your career.

Requirements
A qualified candidate will possess the following:
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Coastal, Environmental Engineering (or a related field) with a focus in water resources and/or engineering water and/or coastal hazard modeling
  • 0-5 years of experience in civil, coastal, and/or water resources or related engineering
  • EIT certification preferred (or in progress), with the goal of obtaining PE licensure
  • Must be a U.S. citizen (required for federal work).

Preferred Candidate Characteristics
  • Familiarity with H&H modeling tools like HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, HEC-RAS 2D, FLO-2D, SWMM, ICPR, or MIKE series tools and/or coastal modeling tools like ADCIRC, CSHORE, or WHAFIS.
  • Working knowledge of ArcGIS / ArcGIS Pro.
  • Strong writing and communication skills.
  • Curiosity, teamwork, and a desire to build technical depth in water and/or coastal modeling.
