Full Job Description
Summary

We are seeking a motivated Water Resources Engineer - H&H Modeling to join our team and support a wide range of water resources projects involving advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. This role blends hands-on engineering design with complex 2D H&H analysis, making it ideal for an engineer who enjoys both technical modeling and practical infrastructure problem solving.

Projects may include developing solutions to challenging flooding issues using a variety of analysis tools including 2-Dimensional modeling. Solution development generally includes detention basins, drainage channel improvement, storm sewer improvements, and surface conveyance improvements (neighborhood streets). A successful candidate will collaborate closely with engineers, modelers, and CADD staff to deliver high-quality drainage studies that will transition into construction documents, utilizing InfoWorks ICM in particular.

If you're looking for a role that offers mentorship, technical growth, and collaboration-while allowing you to apply real engineering judgment-this could be a great fit.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities
  • Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for riverine systems, urban drainage, floodplain mapping, and stormwater management projects.
  • Develop and implement 1D/2D hydraulic models using InfoWorks ICM.
  • Support and lead engineering planning studies focused on flood mitigation and the development of solutions to flooding problems.
  • Support engineering design and plan production through the development of Drainage Impact Analysis studies.
  • Perform GIS-based spatial analysis using ArcGIS or QGIS to support watershed modeling and floodplain studies.
  • Coordinate with project teams to develop design solutions for stormwater conveyance systems, culverts, detention facilities, levees, and other water-related infrastructure.
  • Participate in design meetings and interdisciplinary coordination to understand project goals and constraints.
  • Conduct field investigations, site visits, and data collection as needed to support modeling and design.
  • Assist with technical reports, model documentation, regulatory submittals, and agency coordination (FEMA, USACE, state and local agencies).
  • Review work for completeness and accuracy prior to submission to Project Managers.
  • Support proposal development, scope definition, and cost estimating as needed.

Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Hydrology, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in water resources engineering, with exposure to both design and H&H modeling.
  • Experience with InfoWorks ICM software required.
  • Programming experience (Python, MATLAB) for data analysis or automation is beneficial but not required.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.

Certificates, Licenses, and Registrations
  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license required (or ability to obtain within 6 months).
  • Ability to obtain licensure in additional states as required.
  • Valid driver's license for occasional field work.

Benefits

Not only does HR Green provide you with a place to grow, thrive, and enjoy your work, but we are also dedicated to delivering a comprehensive and multi-faceted benefits package. Visit our website for detailed total rewards information.
