About the Role Kiewit Infrastructure Engineers has an immediate opening for a Senior Water Resources Engineer in our growing Design Engineering group. In this role, you will execute complex Water Resource designs for projects across North America including design-build, progressive design-build, and CM/GC. We seek a technical expert who can inform various projects across North America, while also mentoring junior and mid-level staff in advanced hydrologic and hydraulic design topics. As a Senior Water Resources Engineer, you will be leading and mentoring engineers/designers and collaborating with our other design centers to provide drainage and water resources engineering expertise and designs for design/build and other alternative delivery projects across North America. What You'll Do

• Lead Stormwater Design on transportation, energy, utilities and ports/marine projects.
• Guide and mentor teams responsible for engineering assignments in support of civil design build projects that includes drainage design, water quality, detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis (using various models and methods), erosion and sediment control, preparation of design plans, reports and technical memoranda.
• Lead others in design areas such as hydraulics, pavement drainage, culverts, storm systems, scour and revetment design (supporting bridge design), sediment transport, and stream restoration/embankment stabilization.
• Execute and lead plan production, specifications, estimates and drainage design development; may be in charge of engineering work and serve as Engineer of Record for final design projects.
• Guide engineering teams in interdisciplinary design coordination to ensure drainage project elements are compatible.
• Develop project communications on status of designs/analysis, lead/attend project technical meetings and provide coordination to resolve design issues.
• Provide oversight and direction to the design team, supervise and mentor mid-level and junior staff.
• Lead a team of experienced staff, promote staff development through training, mentoring, and career planning.
• Oversee/create preliminary design concepts and alternatives for drainage designs, leading quality control reviews.
• Collaborate with other design centers to ensure integration and constructability; support design-build and other delivery projects. What We're Looking For
• BS or MS in Civil Engineering, Water Resources (or similar).
• Minimum of 15 years of design experience in drainage, water resources, hydraulics or hydrology in either transportation or land development projects in the U.S.
• Active PE license required; alternative delivery experience is a plus.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills; ability to work with diverse teams.
• Experience mentoring others (training on advanced topics, workflows, and developing “how-tos”).
• Proficiency with H&H software: HEC-HMS, SWMM, TR-55, HEC-RAS, HEC-GEORAS, HY-8, OpenRoads Designer, StormCAD, CivilStorm, PondPack, FlowMaster; SWMM; 2D modeling such as SRH-2D, FLO-2D is helpful.
• Experience with storm water management (water quality & runoff control) and temporary drainage and erosion control during construction.
• Familiarity with flood risk analysis and NFIP knowledge including CLOMR and LOMR.
• Willingness to travel up to 25%.
• Experience working with AI agents and tools preferred. Nice to Have
• Experience with alternative delivery methods is a plus.
• Familiarity with integrating AI tools into design workflows. Compensation & Benefits
• Health benefits and a wealth-building 401k plan (RRSP). Growth opportunities and a strong company culture with a focus on collaboration and safety.
