Job description

Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. We work on all elements of conveyance and treatment for municipal drinking water, wastewater and stormwater plus industrial and federal sectors. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. Grow with us, H2O+U.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills with a desire to network.
• Ability to multi-task, prioritize, take direction and meet deadlines.
• Knowledge of state and federal regulations, policies, and programs are a plus.
• Possess a valid driver’s license with good driving record.
