What We're Looking For

The future of transportation is complex, evolving rapidly, and confronted with increased risk from extreme weather and climate change. HNTB’s Resilient Infrastructure Solutions (RIS) team partners with clients to assess their vulnerability to extreme weather events and identify cost-effective solutions to mitigate risk and withstand changing conditions.

Our growing RIS team is seeking a creative, organized, and experienced project engineer eager to work on some of the region’s most exciting and transformative transportation projects. In this role, you will assist the development of flood risk modeling and climate resilience strategies for projects that prioritize safety, reduce disruption, protect our environment, and weather the complex, rapidly evolving future of our climate and the transportation sector.

You will perform analyses and assessments that integrate resilience, equity, and environmental excellence into our client’s decision-making processes for programs, capital plans, and projects. This position will offer opportunities to expand your career in a multitude of directions, working alongside some of the region’s best engineers and planners. As our RIS team grows, the ideal candidate should be able to share their experience with others in a way that promotes the development of less experienced staff and improves the performance of the whole team.

This position will primarily support resilience projects in the Northeast Division out of HNTB’s Boston office, including supporting the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), Massachusetts Bay Transportation Agency (MBTA), with opportunities to support municipalities and other transportation agencies across the country.

• Works closely with other disciplines and on multi-discipline projects.
• Performs quality control reviews of discipline - specific engineering project elements/deliverables.
• Assists with coordination and planning of schedules, hours, and distribution of work within discipline.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and 4 years of relevant experience, or
• Master’s degree in Engineering and 3 year of relevant experience, or
• PhD in Engineering and 2 years of relevant experience

What You'll Bring:

• Experience working on interdisciplinary teams and delivering projects successfully, profitably, and to the client’s satisfaction.
• Experience completing technical work in areas such as vulnerability/risk assessments, flood modeling, infrastructure planning, resilience standards, and/or economic and demographic analyses.
• Professional Engineering (PE) license in civil engineering and experience collaborating with multi-disciplinary design teams, which include water resources, geotechnical, structural, transportation, coastal and other engineering services.
• Ability to review plans and project documents (plans and specifications) for resilience considerations (re: heat, flooding, extreme precipitation, extreme storms, winter weather, and wind) and coordinate considerations across the project team, client, and regulators to communicate risk.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills to support client service management, proposal preparation, and deliverables. Ability to manage time, proactively forecast, and communicate project development needs.

What We Prefer:

• Master’s degree in Engineering
• Experience coordinating with clients to progress projects and build effective relationships.
• Robust knowledge of the science and maths behind published climate data/maps and projections, including assumptions made in their development, and experience using these data/maps to identify appropriate usage, inform decision-making, and establish limitations.
• Awareness of Federal and state (MA, CT, NJ, NY, NH, ME, RI, VT) climate-, emergency management-, and resilience-related laws and regulations, as well as best practice standards and guidance.
• Familiarity with on-going research and planning related to climate and resilience by Federal agencies (e.g., FEMA, USACE, NOAA, HUD), State agencies, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and other regional or local entities.
• Experience in scenario-based planning with consideration for climate projections and economic impacts.
• Experience or familiarity with the following computer applications: ArcMap/ArcPro, ArcGIS Online, Tableau, Power BI, Python, AWS, and other data processing, visualization, and cloud-based tools.
