We are seeking a candidate with at least 3–5 years of relevant experience. Your Impact Perform stormwater management (SWM) and erosion & sediment control (E&SC) design. Conduct hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analyses for stormwater management permitting, drainage, culverts, roadway systems, and flood evaluations. Lead or support field activities, including BMP inspections, watershed delineations, and drainage assessments, if physically capable. Prepare plans, calculations, technical memoranda, and permitting documentation. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and support QA/QC. Mentor junior engineers and lead task management. Prepare data tables, figures, charts, and written technical deliverables to clearly communicate pertinent information. Assist with project scoping, estimating, and coordination with agencies/clients.
