• Collaborate with senior engineers and multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative watershed planning and stormwater management solutions.
• Assist in field inspections, data collection, and site assessments.
• Participate in public outreach, stakeholder engagement, and project presentations as needed.

• Bachelor's in Civil, Environmental Engineering, Landscape Architecture, or related disciplines.
• Approximately 8 or more years of experience in water resources and stream restoration or stabilization.
