Civil Water Resources Engineer

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.

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.

Stantec's Texas Water group is seeking a motivated Water Resources Engineer to join our Watershed & River Hydraulics team. This position will support a wide range of flood risk management, watershed planning, drainage, riverine, coastal resilience, and water resources infrastructure projects throughout Texas and across North America.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute technically while also taking increasing responsibility for project coordination, client interaction, task management, and project delivery. The successful candidate will work alongside multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions that address complex water resources challenges facing our communities.
