We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified senior water systems engineer to support our defense clients across the water portfolio. The successful candidate will enjoy working on small project teams to develop policies, strategies, and frameworks to evaluate the feasibility of water supply independence at military installations. In this role, candidates will work in a tightly integrated team with a Senior Water Policy Specialist and Project Manager to ensure technical findings are seamlessly integrated into a cohesive and actionable strategic framework. This work is anchored by a validated water balance model that accurately reflects water usage and quantifies the resilience gap. The ideal applicant will have a strong background in water systems design, be detail-oriented, and be comfortable serving in a client-facing role.

- Foundational Models Development: Design, build, and validate a feasibility conditions model to score installations for water neutrality potential and a parametric cost model to estimate the financial investment required for resilience projects.
- On-Site Assessments: Lead a multi-week on-site assessment at pilot installations, performing infrastructure walk-downs, leading technical interviews, and gathering the essential data needed to validate models.
- Technology Evaluation: Research and analyze a portfolio of innovative water technologies, including advanced wastewater reuse (e.g., membrane bioreactors, MBR), atmospheric water generation (AWG), smart rainwater harvesting, and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR).
- Mentoring: Provide technical direction and mentorship to a supporting junior analyst, fostering their growth while ensuring the quality and rigor of all technical work.
