Design and oversee construction of storm drain systems, culverts, bridges, and urban stream improvements.
Use your modeling expertise (1D/2D) to analyze floodplain scenarios and recommend resilient mitigation strategies.
Serve as a key client-facing leader, overseeing project planning, deliverables, and team coordination.
Prepare technical documents, construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and permitting packages.
Collaborate with internal departments on proposals, budgeting, and invoicing.

Bonus Points For
