Taylor Engineering is seeking a motivated entry-level (civil, coastal, environmental, water resources, or other relevant degree) to join our nationally recognized floodplain mapping team onsite in Jacksonville, Florida supporting efforts to reduce flood risk and protect communities. Youโ€™ll receive real-world training in hydrology, hydraulics, and GIS, while helping shape the maps that inform disaster planning, insurance, and infrastructure decisions across the U.S.

  • Contribute to model development, mapping support, and technical documentation.
  • Ensure compliance with NFIP technical standards and other governmental regulations.
  • Communicate your findings clearly in written reports and with project stakeholders.
  • Learn industry-standard tools and contribute to a collaborative, mission-driven team.
  • Grow your career.

Requirements

A qualified candidate will possess the following:

  • Bachelorโ€™s degree in Civil, Coastal, Environmental Engineering (or a related field) with a focus in water resources and/or engineering water and/or coastal hazard modeling
  • 0โ€“5 years of experience in civil, coastal, and/or water resources or related engineering
  • EIT certification preferred (or in progress), with the goal of obtaining PE licensure
  • Must be a U.S. citizen (required for federal work).

Preferred Candidate Characteristics ย 

  • Familiarity with H&H modeling tools like HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, HEC-RAS 2D, FLO-2D, SWMM, ICPR, or MIKE series tools and/or coastal modeling tools like ADCIRC, CSHORE, or WHAFIS.
  • Working knowledge of ArcGIS / ArcGIS Pro.
  • Strong writing and communication skills.
  • Curiosity, teamwork, and a desire to build technical depth in water and/or coastal modeling.

Here at Taylor Engineering, we are a team. We succeed together. ย We are a group of professionals in a business casual, team member-focused environment. We support career growth and personal development. We work hard, and we play hardโ€”doing both while always upholding our Vision and Values.
