About the Role:

The Hydraulic Engineer will support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) READI contract by providing hydraulic and water resources engineering expertise for civil works, flood risk management, stormwater infrastructure, and resiliency projects. The engineer will support planning, design, analysis, and evaluation of hydraulic systems and water infrastructure in accordance with USACE engineering standards, federal regulations, and project-specific requirements.

This role involves performing hydraulic and hydrologic analyses, developing engineering designs, conducting field assessments, and supporting multidisciplinary infrastructure projects that enhance public safety, environmental sustainability, and community resilience. The Hydraulic Engineer will collaborate with federal stakeholders, project managers, environmental specialists, and design teams to deliver technically sound and compliant engineering solutions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited institution.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain licensure within the required timeframe.
• Experience with hydraulic and hydrologic modeling software such as HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SWMM, or equivalent tools.
• Working knowledge of fluid mechanics, hydrology, stormwater management, and water resource engineering principles.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or related engineering design software.
• Ability to interpret and apply USACE engineering manuals, technical guidance, and federal design standards.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to prepare technical reports and coordinate with multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Hydraulic Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or related discipline.
• Experience supporting USACE, FEMA, EPA, or other federal infrastructure and water resource projects.
• Experience with flood risk management, levee systems, drainage infrastructure, dam safety, or water distribution systems.
• Familiarity with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications for hydraulic analysis and mapping.
• Knowledge of NEPA compliance, environmental permitting, and sustainability practices related to water resources projects.
• Experience supporting large-scale civil works or military infrastructure projects.
• Project management experience or certification supporting federal engineering programs.

Responsibilities:

• Perform hydraulic and hydrologic analyses for flood control systems, drainage networks, stormwater infrastructure, levees, pipelines, pump stations, and related water resource facilities.
• Develop and evaluate hydraulic models using HEC-RAS, SWMM, HEC-HMS, and other approved engineering software.
• Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, design documentation, specifications, and construction support documents in compliance with USACE standards.
• Support planning, design, and rehabilitation of civil infrastructure and water resource systems under the READI contract.
• Conduct field investigations, inspections, and condition assessments of existing hydraulic infrastructure and recommend corrective actions or improvements.
• Coordinate with civil engineers, environmental scientists, geotechnical engineers, and project managers to integrate hydraulic solutions into multidisciplinary projects.
• Ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including USACE engineering criteria and environmental requirements.
• Support project scheduling, budgeting, quality control, and deliverable management to ensure timely and compliant project execution.
• Participate in technical reviews, stakeholder coordination meetings, and design review processes.

Skills:

The ideal candidate must possess strong hydraulic and hydrologic modeling capabilities with experience using industry-standard software such as HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SWMM, or similar tools to analyze water flow, stormwater systems, and flood risk conditions. A solid understanding of water resources engineering, fluid mechanics, drainage systems, and floodplain management is essential for developing effective and compliant engineering solutions. Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and related engineering design software is required to produce accurate technical drawings, specifications, and construction documentation. The candidate should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to evaluate complex hydraulic systems and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are necessary for preparing technical reports, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and supporting stakeholder engagement. Familiarity with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, including USACE engineering standards and environmental compliance procedures, is highly desirable. Additionally, the candidate should possess effective organizational and project coordination skills to support project scheduling, quality control, budgeting, and timely delivery of contract requirements within a collaborative team environment.
