RIVUS Consulting is a successful small engineering and environmental consulting firm providing engineering, environmental, and program-management services to public-sector clients. Our work spans planning, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, stormwater and drainage design, environmental permitting, construction management, inspection, GIS, asset management, and infrastructure program delivery. RIVUS has extensive experience supporting municipal stormwater, drainage, flood mitigation, MS4, stream restoration, and other public infrastructure programs throughout Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region.

RIVUS Consulting is seeking a Hydraulic / Water Resources Engineer with a strong background in hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) to support stormwater, drainage, floodplain, watershed, and infrastructure projects in the Baltimore area. The ideal candidate will have at least five years of relevant engineering experience and demonstrated proficiency using Info Works ICM for hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. The position will involve development, calibration, review, and application of hydraulic models to evaluate existing drainage systems, identify flooding and capacity constraints, and develop infrastructure improvement alternatives.

The engineer will work with RIVUS project managers and multidisciplinary teams on municipal and public-sector assignments involving stormwater management, drainage improvements, flood mitigation, watershed studies, and related infrastructure projects. Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification is preferred but not required.

• Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for stormwater, drainage, watershed, and flood-mitigation projects.
• Develop, update, troubleshoot, and analyze PCSWMM and Info Works ICM models.
• Model storm-drain systems, channels, culverts, storage facilities, surface flooding, and interconnected drainage networks.
• Evaluate existing drainage-system capacity and identify hydraulic deficiencies, bottlenecks, and flood-prone locations.
• Develop and evaluate alternatives for drainage and flood-mitigation improvements.
• Prepare drainage-area delineations, design-storm analyses, flow calculations, hydraulic profiles, and technical documentation.
• Analyze existing and proposed stormwater-management facilities and drainage infrastructure.
• Support preparation of engineering reports, technical memoranda, calculations, exhibits, and presentations.
• Assist with development of conceptual and final engineering designs.
• Coordinate modeling results with GIS, survey, CAD, and engineering design information.
• Support stormwater-management, erosion and sediment control, and drainage design assignments.
• Review plans, models, calculations, and supporting technical information prepared by others.
• Assist project managers with agency coordination and responses to technical review comments.
• Participate in field investigations and drainage-system assessments as needed.
• Maintain organized model files, calculations, assumptions, and supporting documentation in accordance with project QA/QC procedures.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum five years of relevant professional experience in hydrology, hydraulics, drainage, stormwater, floodplain, or water‑resources engineering.
• Demonstrated H&H modeling experience.
• Experience using Info Works ICM required.
• Experience with HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SWMM, StormCAD, SewerGEMS, HydroCAD, or similar H&H software.
