Hydrologic Consultants Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Company:

Kundlas Consulting Group LLC is a professional consulting firm specializing in construction inspection and compliance services for public infrastructure projects. Our core services include on-site inspection of roadway, bridge, and utility construction to ensure adherence to engineering specifications, safety standards, and contract requirements. We support clients with daily reporting, materials testing coordination, schedule tracking, and quality assurance oversight. Additional services include project management, grants management for federally funded infrastructure and disaster recovery programs. 

About the Role:

The Hydrologist will support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) READI contract by performing hydrologic studies, flood assessments, and watershed analyses in support of disaster response, emergency recovery, infrastructure resiliency, and environmental management projects. This role provides technical expertise in evaluating surface water and groundwater systems, assessing hydrologic impacts, and supporting flood risk management initiatives in accordance with federal standards and project-specific requirements.

The Hydrologist will conduct data collection, hydrologic modeling, watershed evaluations, and environmental analyses to support emergency stabilization and long-term recovery operations. The position requires collaboration with engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, and regulatory agencies to develop technically sound and sustainable solutions that support public safety, environmental protection, and resilient infrastructure systems.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Hydrology, Water Resources, Environmental Science, Geology, Civil Engineering, or a related scientific discipline from an accredited institution.
• Professional experience performing hydrologic studies, flood analysis, watershed assessments, or water resource evaluations.
• Experience with hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software and GIS applications, including ArcGIS or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of surface water hydrology, groundwater systems, watershed management, and floodplain analysis.
• Knowledge of federal, state, and local environmental regulations related to water resources and environmental protection.
• Excellent analytical, technical writing, communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to conduct field investigations and support emergency response activities in varying environmental conditions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Hydrology, Water Resources Engineering, Environmental Science, or related discipline.
• Experience supporting USACE, FEMA, EPA, or other federal disaster recovery and infrastructure programs.
• Familiarity with advanced hydrologic modeling software, remote sensing technologies, and watershed simulation tools.
• Professional Hydrologist (PH) certification or related professional credential.
• Experience supporting flood risk management, watershed restoration, or emergency response operations.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary environmental or water resource projects.

Responsibilities:

• Perform hydrologic studies, flood assessments, and watershed analyses supporting disaster response and recovery operations.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret hydrologic, meteorological, groundwater, and surface water data for infrastructure and environmental projects.
• Conduct environmental impact evaluations related to flooding, stormwater management, erosion, and watershed conditions.
• Utilize GIS software and hydrologic modeling tools to develop maps, watershed models, floodplain analyses, and spatial data assessments.
• Support the development of flood mitigation, watershed management, and resiliency strategies for emergency stabilization and infrastructure recovery projects.
• Prepare technical reports, hydrologic analyses, field documentation, and recommendations in compliance with USACE and federal requirements.
• Coordinate with engineers, geologists, environmental scientists, project managers, and regulatory agencies to support multidisciplinary project delivery.
• Participate in field inspections, site assessments, and post-disaster evaluations as required.

Skills:

The ideal candidate must possess strong technical knowledge of hydrology, watershed management, floodplain analysis, and groundwater systems to support accurate hydrologic assessments and disaster response activities. Experience conducting water quality evaluations, environmental impact assessments, and hydrologic data analysis is essential for assessing environmental conditions and infrastructure resilience. Proficiency in ArcGIS and related GIS applications is required to develop spatial analyses, watershed maps, and hydrologic models that support project planning and regulatory compliance. The candidate should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills to interpret complex hydrologic data and develop practical, sustainable solutions for flood risk management and recovery operations. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are necessary for preparing technical reports, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and supporting stakeholder engagement. Familiarity with federal environmental regulations, USACE engineering guidance, and emergency management procedures is highly desirable. The ability to safely conduct fieldwork and adapt to dynamic disaster response environments is critical to successful project execution under the USACE READI contract.
