  • Develop and evaluate alternatives for new facilities and upgrades to existing projects.
  • Complete detailed design calculations and prepare contract documents and technical specifications.
  • Inspect ongoing dam and water resources construction projects for conformance with design requirements.
  • Inspect existing projects as part of regulatory compliance programs (e.g., FERC Part 12D).
  • Participate in semi-quantitative risk analysis workshops.
  • Prepare formal written reports, give presentations, and participate in internal and client meetings.
  • Prepare scopes of work, budgets, and schedules.

Minimum Qualifications

  • B.S. in Civil Engineering from an accredited program.
  • 7 to 15+ years’ experience in structural engineering related to dams and water resources structures.

  • Excellent verbal and written communications skills.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Ability to travel on temporary assignments.
  • Willingness and ability to work in the field and in inclement weather.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience managing multi-discipline design projects.
