The Roads and Highways Practice is seeking an Engineer-in-Training to join our Inland Northwest team in Boise, , Coeur d'Alene, , Pocatello, , Spokane, WA or Tri-Cities, WA.

As an early-career civil engineer within our hydraulics and drainage team, you will work alongside experienced engineers and project managers to develop hydraulic, drainage, and stormwater solutions for transportation projects throughout Idaho and Eastern Washington. Under their guidance, you will assist with hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, bridge and culvert evaluations, scour analysis, floodplain studies, drainage design, construction plans, and technical reports.

Your assignments may include river and stream crossings, open channels, fish passage improvements, storm drains, roadside ditches, and stormwater treatment and infiltration facilities. You will gain experience using hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, GIS, and Open Roads Designer (ORD) and/or Civil 3D, with opportunities to participate in site visits, field data collection, and construction support. Mentorship and progressively challenging assignments will help you build technical judgment and advance toward Professional Engineer licensure.
