Civil Engineer

At Current Hydro, we lead the way in run‑of‑river hydropower, utilizing the natural flow of water to produce clean, sustainable energy. Our innovative methods ensure minimal environmental impact while optimizing efficiency and reliability.

Our mission is to deliver renewable energy solutions that facilitate America’s shift to a clean energy future. We are dedicated to safety, innovation, environmental stewardship, and active community engagement.

Guided by our core values
, we aim to be at the forefront of renewable energy, advancing the transition to a sustainable future with our cutting‑edge hydropower solutions.

For more than a century, hydropower has been a foundational element of the U.S. energy system. At Current Hydro, we are demonstrating that it can also be a cornerstone of a sustainable, carbon‑free future. Through the development of run‑of‑river hydropower at existing dams, we leverage the natural flow of water to deliver clean, reliable renewable energy while minimizing environmental impacts. Our projects are designed as long‑life infrastructure assets—revitalizing communities, creating stable, generational jobs, and supporting long‑term energy resilience.

Current Hydro is in a period of rapid growth, advancing a robust pipeline of projects that are transitioning from development into construction. Joining our team at this stage offers a unique opportunity to have immediate impact while helping shape the systems, standards, and culture of a growing organization.

As a Civil Engineer at Current Hydro, you will play a critical role in the technical development of hydropower projects at complex riverine and navigation structures. This position offers the opportunity to apply deep technical expertise to nationally significant infrastructure, directly enabling the expansion of clean, firm power across the U.S. If you are motivated to contribute to infrastructure that will perform for generations and to be part of a mission‑driven team accelerating the energy transition, this role offers a compelling opportunity.

Current Hydro is seeking a motivated Civil Engineer to join our team. This is a remote, full‑time position. The civil engineer will be responsible for working closely with the team’s engineering disciplines (architectural, civil/structural, hydrotechnical, mechanical and electrical) to lead the civil design and layout of new hydropower facilities. This position will be required to be proficient and perform engineering analyses, prepare concepts and details, and direct preparation of design drawings in 2D and 3D environments utilizing AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and Revit.

• Lead the design and development of site civil and earthwork components including grading, excavation, dredging, shoreline stabilization, stormwater design, and site restoration.
• Prepare and review grading plans, dredging plans, erosion and sediment control plans, and site layout drawings.
• Perform earthwork quantity calculations, dredge volume estimates, and material takeoffs.
• Coordinate grading design, slope stability considerations, and foundation preparation requirements with geotechnical and structural designs.
• Interface with survey, bathymetric, and geotechnical data to develop accurate grading and dredging models.
• Assist with permitting support related to erosion control, stormwater, dredging, and environmental compliance.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, permitting requirements, and owner standards.
• Mentor junior engineers and review technical work products.
• Prepare design concepts and develop civil drawings and models in 2D and 3D environments using software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit.
• Prepare design deliverables (engineering calculations, analysis, technical reports, technical specifications, civil drawings, quantity take‑offs, etc.) in accordance with industry standards.
• Provide engineering services during construction including submittal reviews, responses to contractor requests for information (RFIs), review of change orders, preparation of record drawings, and site inspections to verify compliance with design specifications.
• Work closely with engineering…
