Job description

This Opportunity

WSP is seeking a Deputy Project Manager - Water Resources / Site Civil Engineer to join our Tampa, FL office and support a growing portfolio of municipal and resilience-focused projects across the Tampa Bay region.

    • Stormwater management design (ERP systems, treatment, attenuation)
    • Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling (HEC-RAS, ICPR/StormWise, SWMM)
    • Watershed and floodplain analyses
    • Drainage and grading design to support permitting and construction
  • Prepare and review:
    • Engineering calculations
    • Technical reports
    • Construction plans and specifications
  • Coordinate permitting efforts and support regulatory agency interactions.
  • Assist in managing project scope, schedule, and budget, including tracking task progress and supporting invoicing.
  • Participate in client meetings and contribute to technical discussions and decision-making.
  • Support public engagement efforts, workshops, and stakeholder coordination as needed.
  • Conduct site visits and support construction phase services, including observation, documentation, and response to contractor inquiries.
  • Mentor junior staff and provide technical guidance on design tasks and modeling efforts.
  • Support proposal development, including scope writing and effort estimation.
Who You Are

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering with a focus in Water Resources or related discipline.
  • 3-7 years of relevant experience in stormwater, water resources, or site civil engineering.
  • Experience supporting project delivery, including coordination of tasks, schedules, and technical deliverables.
  • Working knowledge of:
    • Stormwater management and design
    • Hydrology and hydraulics
    • Drainage and grading design
  • Experience with design and modeling software such as:
    • Civil 3D
    • ArcGIS
    • HEC-RAS / HEC-HMS / SWMM / ICPR (or similar)
  • Familiarity with Florida permitting processes (SWFWMD ERP, local government requirements, and applicable federal permits).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with internal teams and clients.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and support project delivery in a fast-paced environment.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) or Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in Florida (or ability to obtain).
  • Experience with municipal stormwater or watershed projects in the Tampa Bay region (e.g., Pinellas, Hillsborough, Sarasota, Manatee).
  • Experience supporting project budgets, schedules, and client coordination.
  • Familiarity with resiliency, flood mitigation, and adaptation planning efforts.
  • Experience mentoring junior staff or leading small task teams.
