What is remote water resources engineering?

Remote water resources engineering involves managing and designing water systems, such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply, from a location outside of the project site, often using digital tools and communication technologies. These engineers analyze water-related issues, develop solutions using modeling software, and collaborate with teams remotely. The role allows professionals to contribute to projects worldwide without being physically present, making use of cloud-based platforms, GIS, and real-time data sharing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote water resources engineer?

To thrive as a Remote Water Resources Engineer, you need a solid background in hydrology, civil or environmental engineering, and typically a relevant engineering degree with EIT or PE certification. Familiarity with modeling software like HEC-RAS, GIS platforms, and remote sensing tools is often required. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for collaborating with teams and clients in a remote environment.

Job description

Company Profile 
Headway Environmental is a national environmental consulting firm helping clients navigate complex environmental regulations while advancing infrastructure, energy, water, mining, transportation, and land development projects across the United States.
Our multidisciplinary team provides environmental permitting, biological resources, wetlands, NEPA compliance, ecological restoration, mitigation and conservation bank permitting, water resources, and environmental planning services that help clients reduce project risk, maintain schedules, and achieve regulatory compliance.
Our clients rely on us because environmental challenges are often among the most critical factors affecting project success. Whether supporting renewable energy development, transportation improvements, public infrastructure, or private development, we work collaboratively to deliver practical, science-based solutions that balance environmental stewardship with successful project delivery.
Job Description
Headway Environmental is seeking an experienced nationwide Account Executive (AE) to expand our national client base and drive strategic growth across multiple market sectors. The successful candidate will report to the President of Headway Environmental.
This role is focused on creating opportunities, not simply responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Successful candidates proactively identify prospective clients, develop relationships with key decision-makers, and engage Headway's technical experts early in the discussion to position the firm before procurement even begins. Once opportunities are qualified, the AE partners with Headway's technical and operations teams to develop the technical approach, pricing, proposals, and ultimately deliver the work. The AE tracks the opportunity within Headway’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, ensuring pipeline information is up to date. This will include continued coordination between the client and Headway’s technical team through the close of the deal.
Success in this role requires curiosity, initiative, and the ability to build trust with prospective clients. You'll work alongside Headway's scientists, engineers, and permitting specialists to connect clients with the right expertise at the right time, creating opportunities that become long-term partnerships.
Hire Type: Full-time (salary plus commission)
Schedule: 40 hours, Monday–Friday
Location: Remote – work from home within the Central and Southwest region

  • Gather client, project, regulatory, schedule, and procurement intelligence needed to support successful pursuit planning.
  • Coordinate early client discussions with Headway's technical subject matter experts to establish credibility and define client needs.
  • Facilitate a seamless transition of qualified opportunities to Headway's technical and operations teams for scope development, pricing, proposal preparation, and project delivery.
