A Hydraulic Engineering job involves designing, analyzing, and managing systems that control and direct water flow, such as dams, levees, canals, and drainage systems. Hydraulic engineers apply principles of fluid mechanics to ensure efficient water distribution, flood prevention, and environmental conservation. They work on projects related to irrigation, stormwater management, and hydropower generation. This role often requires collaboration with other engineers, geologists, and environmental scientists to develop sustainable water infrastructure solutions.
As a Hydraulic Engineer, you can expect to work on a diverse range of projects, including designing water distribution systems, flood control infrastructure, stormwater management solutions, and hydraulic modeling for dams and bridges. Your daily duties may involve site assessments, data analysis, creating technical reports and drawings, collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams, and ensuring compliance with environmental or safety regulations. Many roles also require client meetings and field inspections to oversee construction progress and troubleshoot challenges as they arise. This position offers a dynamic mix of office-based design work and hands-on fieldwork, providing opportunities to see your engineering solutions come to life.
To thrive as a Hydraulic Engineer, you need strong knowledge of fluid mechanics, environmental regulations, and civil engineering principles, generally backed by a degree in civil or hydraulic engineering. Familiarity with technical tools such as AutoCAD, HEC-RAS, and computational fluid dynamics software, as well as relevant PE licensure where applicable, is essential. Excellent problem-solving skills, communication abilities, and teamwork set candidates apart in this field. These skills are vital for creating safe, efficient hydraulic systems and effectively collaborating on complex infrastructure projects.

Genex Systems seeks a talented Hydraulic Research Engineer to support the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contract at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC).
This position focuses on conducting erosion tests of cohesive soils, collecting and analyzing data, and preparing technical publications. Physical tests may include but are not limited to erosion of field and engineered soils, pier and abutment scour in cohesive soils using small-scaled flumes, and flow field measurement using PIV, ADV, and UDV. CFD simulations and CAD model designs may be included to complement physical tests. Once assigned a research topic, you will complete assignments by defining research requirements and objectives, collecting and reviewing literature, developing proof-of-concept tests, designing physical test matrix, outlining research schedule, conducting physical tests, collecting and analyzing data, preparing the technical publications, and archiving the completed project.
