  • Conduct watershed and river assessments, including evaluation of channel stability, sediment transport considerations, and floodplain connectivity
  • Coordinate with interdisciplinary teams including environmental scientists, geomorphologists, and permitting specialists
  • Provide technical guidance to CADD technicians and junior engineers
  • Assist project managers in maintaining project schedules and budgets

Required Qualifications
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required in at least one U.S. state
  • Bachelor's degree in:

  • 5+ years of experience in water resources engineering with emphasis on ecological restoration, river engineering, or nature-based infrastructure
  • Experience designing stream restoration or natural channel projects
  • Strong experience with:
