• Developing construction documents, including engineering drawings and technical specifications;
• Project-level responsibility for scoping, performing, managing and delivering multiple concurrent project assignments;
• Applying and/or directing innovative hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, from 1-D to 3-D hydrologic, sediment transport and/or morphodynamic models;
• Interacting with client representatives;

Requirements

• Significant experience with conducting fluvial geomorphologic assessments in streams and riverine systems (including the various methodologies that can be employed) and using remote sensing GIS toolsets for related analysis. (preferred)
• Bachelor's degree in geology, natural resources science, hydrotechnical or civil engineering, with emphasis on water resources or closely related discipline. (required)
• Experience with a variety of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for geospatial data collection (e.g., LIDAR, imagery, etc.) and possessing an FAA remote pilot license (Part 107) or willingness to attain and maintain license. (preferred)
