This role requires strong technical expertise in event-based hydrologic analysis, watershed modeling, floodplain evaluation, and hydraulic system assessment. The engineer will use modeling tools such as InfoWorks ICM, WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, InfoSWMM, EPA SWMM, HEC-HMS, and HEC-RAS to support system planning, master planning, flood risk assessments, and infrastructure design

Responsibilities

• Perform hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems using tools such as InfoWorks ICM, WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, InfoSWMM, HEC-HMS, and HEC-RAS.
• Support water resources planning, watershed assessments, event-based hydrologic analyses, and floodplain evaluations.
• Evaluate flood depths, flow routing, channel hydraulics, and hydraulic system performance.
• Perform engineering calculations for pipeline hydraulics, pump systems, stormwater conveyance, detention basin sizing, and drainage design.
• Use Esri ArcGIS and geospatial datasets, including LiDAR, survey data, topography, land use, and soil information, to support modeling and engineering analysis.
• Support asset management and digital delivery initiatives, including data integration, data pipeline development, and data visualization using Power BI, Palantir Foundry, and related platforms.
• Coordinate modeling results and design inputs with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support design evaluations and optimize project solutions.
• Prepare engineering calculations, design plans, technical reports, and other project deliverables.
• Maintain modeling datasets, follow established workflows, and perform quality checks to ensure the accuracy and consistency of deliverables.
• Collaborate with US-based project managers and engineering teams to coordinate project activities and meet schedule and quality expectations.
• Lead digital delivery initiatives for planning, water systems, and municipal projects, leveraging tools such as Power BI and Palantir Foundry.
• Apply expertise in asset management, Python scripting, Building Information Modeling (BIM), FME, SQL, data pipeline development, and data integration to enhance project delivery and data-driven decision-making.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or a related discipline from a recognized institution.
• Preference for a degree, minor, or specialization in data analytics, information systems, or a related field.
• Strong technical foundation in civil engineering hydraulics and hydrology, including watershed modeling, floodplain analysis, stormwater hydrology, and pipeline system behavior.
• Proficiency in data visualization and analytics platforms such as Power BI, Palantir Foundry, or similar tools.
• Familiarity with digital water services, data analytics, and information systems.
• Minimum 10–15 years of experience in water resources, hydraulics, hydrology, or related civil engineering fields.
• Candidates with fewer years of experience may be considered based on strong technical fundamentals, communication skills, and demonstrated ability to learn quickly.
