Stormwater Engineer (Water Resources & Drainage Design)
We are a forward-thinking collective of engineering professionals dedicated to solving today's most pressing environmental and infrastructure challenges. Our culture is built on a foundation of collaboration, innovation, and unwavering technical excellence. We empower our team members to take initiative and lead complex projects that have a tangible, positive impact on the world.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the comprehensive design of advanced stormwater management systems, including detention/retention ponds, bioswales, permeable pavements, and other green infrastructure components.
- Perform intricate hydrologic and hydraulic modeling using industry-standard software (such as SWMM, HEC-RAS, and HydroCAD) to meticulously analyze runoff, flow rates, and water quality impacts.
- Ensure all project phases achieve full compliance with national, state, and local water quality regulations, with a specific focus on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
- Author, review, and direct the implementation of detailed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for a diverse portfolio of land development and construction projects.
- Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D and ArcGIS to generate precise site plans, complex grading designs, and critical geospatial analyses for water resource initiatives.
- Conduct rigorous on-site inspections and functional assessments of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) to verify performance and guarantee regulatory adherence.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—uniting civil engineers, landscape architects, and environmental scientists—to seamlessly integrate low-impact development (LID) principles into every project design.
- Prepare and present compelling technical reports, permit applications, and design documentation to a range of audiences, including clients, review agencies, and public stakeholders.
Core Qualifications
- A Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline is required for this position.
- You possess a minimum of seven years of progressive experience focused specifically on stormwater management, hydraulics, hydrology, and drainage design.
- A current Professional Engineer (PE) license in at least one US state is highly preferred, or you have the clear ability to obtain one through reciprocity within a year.
- You have demonstrated mastery of the core principles of hydrology, open-channel and closed-conduit hydraulics, and various water quality treatment mechanisms.
- Your background includes a thorough understanding of complex environmental regulations and permitting processes... especially NPDES and local stormwater ordinances.
- Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a proven capacity to manage multiple projects concurrently, guiding them from initial conception through to final completion.
- You command strong written and verbal communication skills, which are essential for authoring unambiguous technical reports and collaborating effectively with diverse teams.
- A proven history of working independently and taking decisive ownership of project deliverables (a key trait for success in a remote or hybrid work environment).
Technical Proficiencies
- Advanced proficiency in hydrologic/hydraulic modeling software, including but not limited to SWMM, HEC-RAS, HydroCAD, and TR-55/TR-20.
- Expert-level skills in AutoCAD Civil 3D for sophisticated site layout, grading, and pipe network design.
- Strong competency with Esri ArcGIS or QGIS for spatial analysis, watershed delineation, and compelling data visualization.
- Deep familiarity with the design, application, and maintenance of various stormwater BMPs and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques.
- Significant experience in erosion and sediment control design, inspection, and compliance is a considerable asset.
