• Perform and direct sediment transport and scour analyses to support water resources projects.  

• Plan, participate in, and oversee field data collection and reconnaissance activities (hydrographic and topographic surveys, sediment sampling, geomorphic assessments) to develop project baselines and validate hydraulic models. 

• Coordinate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams - geomorphologists, biologists, ecologists, planners, and other engineers - to integrate ecological, geomorphic, and regulatory requirements into designs. 

• Supervise, mentor, and delegate technical tasks to junior engineers and support staff; review their work products and manage deliverable schedules for complex design packages. 

• Provide senior QA/QC oversight of engineering analyses, drawings, specifications, and reports to ensure technical accuracy, constructability, and compliance with standards and permits. 

RequiredQualifications: 

• Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related field.

• Registered Professional Engineering license in New Mexico or have NCEES record to obtain NM PE license within 2 months.  

• Certified Floodplain Manager certification. 

• Experience with 1D steady and unsteady hydraulic modeling (e.g., HEC-RAS or equivalent) and familiarity with hydrologic modeling tools (HEC-HMS, SWMM) and flow record statistical analysis. 

• Proven technical writing, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills for preparing reports, proposals, and client briefings. 

• Proven project management and business development experience - demonstrated success leading project teams and pursuits, preparing proposals, cultivating client relationships, and supporting capture objectives. 

• Experience managing project budgets, schedules, scopes, and supervising junior staff. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Master's degree in civil engineering or related field. 

• Familiarity with sediment transport and scour modeling (e.g., HEC RAS sediment transport, HEC 6T, SIAM) is a plus. 

• Experience with 2D hydraulic/mapping models (e.g., RAS 2D, FLO 2D, ADH, SRH 2D or similar) for detailed floodplain and inundation analyses is a plus. 

• Proficiency with AutoCAD and Civil 3D for preparation of engineering drawings and construction documents is a plus. 

Physical Requirements: 

• Ability to travel as needed for client and public meetings, with travel anticipated to be up to 5% annually, including occasional overnight travel. 

• Ability and willingness to work outdoors for extended periods in a variety of weather conditions, including heat, rain, wind, and cold. 

• Ability to work in lakes and rivers, including wading in water and wearing waders as required. Swiftwater training will be provided where necessary. 

• Ability to work at a computer workstation for extended periods, up to 8 hours per day, with additional time as project demands require. 

• Manual dexterity to operate a computer, mouse, keyboard, and other standard office equipment and tools. 

• Visual acuity to read and interpret detailed drawings and technical documents, including topographic and site surveys, construction document plan sets, and reports. 

• Ability to communicate effectively in person and through electronic means with colleagues, clients, and project stakeholders.
