Hydrology & Hydraulics; H&H Engineer - Drainage Design

Position Summary

One of our clients is seeking a Mid-Level Hydrology & Hydraulics (H&H) Engineer with 5-10 years of focused H&H experience to support drainage and stormwater projects under the leadership of a senior H&H engineering team.

This is a specialized H&H role, not a general civil engineering position. The ideal candidate should have spent the majority of their career performing drainage design, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and stormwater analysis.

• Perform drainage planning, design, and profile development.
• Prepare drainage and stormwater calculations.
• Develop and calibrate H&H models using:
  • HEC-RAS
  • HEC-HMS
  • Civil 3D
  • XP-SWMM (or similar)
• Prepare drainage reports, technical memoranda, and design documentation.
• Support permitting efforts and agency coordination.
• Work closely with the H&H Lead on project delivery.

• 5-10 years of dedicated Hydrology & Hydraulics (H&H) experience.
• Strong hands‑on experience in:
  • Drainage Design
  • Stormwater Management
  • Hydraulic & Hydrologic Modeling
• Proficiency with:
  • HEC-RAS
  • HEC-HMS
  • Civil 3D
  • XP-SWMM or similar software
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
• Ability to independently perform H&H modeling, drainage calculations, and technical design work.

• Municipal, County, or DOT drainage experience.
• Experience with floodplain studies, detention pond design, culvert analysis, and storm sewer systems.
• Experience using multiple H&H modeling platforms.
• EIT or PE preferred but not required. Relevant H&H experience is the priority.

• This role requires candidates whose primary experience is Hydrology & Hydraulics.
• General Civil Engineers with only occasional drainage exposure will not be considered.
• Candidates should be able to clearly discuss H&H projects, drainage modeling, and stormwater design in detail.
• Open to candidates outside Houston who are willing to relocate.
