In this role, you will execute complex water resource designs for projects across North America, including design-build, progressive design-build, and CM/GC delivery. You will act as a technical expert, provide mentorship to junior and mid-level staff, and collaborate with other design centers to deliver drainage and water resources solutions for diverse projects.

What You'll Do

• Lead Stormwater Design on a variety of transportation, energy, utilities, and ports/marine projects.
• Guide and mentor teams responsible for civil design-build assignments, including drainage design, water quality, detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses (various models/methods), erosion and sediment control, and preparation of design plans, reports, and technical memoranda.
• Lead design areas such as hydraulics, pavement drainage, culverts, storm systems, scour/revetment design (supporting bridge design), sediment transport, and stream restoration/embankment stabilization.
• Execute and lead plan production, specifications, estimates, and drainage design development; may serve as Engineer of Record for final design projects.
• Guide interdisciplinary design coordination to ensure drainage elements are compatible.
• Develop project communications on design/analysis status, lead technical meetings, and coordinate to resolve design issues.
• Provide oversight and direction to the design team, including mentoring of mid-level and junior staff.
• Lead a team of seasoned professionals, promoting staff development through training, mentoring, and career planning.
• Oversee/create preliminary design concepts and alternatives for drainage designs and conduct quality control reviews.
• Travel for project offices/work sites up to 25% and operate in a hybrid office/field environment based on location and experience.

• Experience with stormwater management, water quality and runoff control, and temporary drainage/erosion control during construction.
• Familiarity with flood risk analysis and NFIP knowledge including CLOMR/LOMR.
• Travel willingness up to 25%.

Nice to Have

• 2D hydrologic/hydraulic modeling experience (e.g., SRH-2D, FLO-2D).
• Additional alternative delivery project exposure and complex design-build experience.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation and strong benefits package including health benefits and a wealth-building 401k plan (RRSP) with growth opportunities.
