  • Experience with project management.
  • Experience with proposals and business development.
  • Experience with client management.
  • Licenses/certifications: Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Software: knowledge of commonly used hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, GIS, and CADD software.
  • Communication: strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills and the ability to communicate effectively with project team members, regulators, and clients.
  • Driver's license: possession of a current, valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship by Barr, now or in the future.

Helpful additional experience (not required)
  • Master's degree or PhD in civil or environmental engineering, with a focus on water resources.
  • Experience with scour analysis and remediation.
  • Experience leading projects in the energy industry.

Compensation: anticipated range of $115,000-$130,000 annually. Compensation will vary based on relevant experience, education, skill level, and other compensable factors.
