Broward County Water Lead

This Opportunity

Provides high level technical assistance and guidance on multi-site/phase water, wastewater and water resources engineering projects. Tasks may include the design and development of processes, infrastructure, and operating strategies related to water supply, wastewater treatment/conveyance, stormwater facilities, pollution control and treatment, and preserving the quality of the environment by averting the contamination and degradation of water resources. Assists project leadership with project management, project design, and corrective action strategies.

Ensures that responsibilities are delivered and adhered to with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards.

• Provide guidance with data collection efforts for collecting, identifying, and compiling data from samples of wastewater, sludge, and other matrices for projects, investigations, and surveys.
• Perform high-level professional wastewater engineering work and conduct investigations, analysis, and design relating to waste disposal, pollution control and treatment activities to avert the contamination and degradation of water resources and determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and construction or operating permits.
• Ensure that the planning and management of available wastewater is adequately leveraged, treated, improved upon and remains safe for various end uses – irrigation, commercial (reclaimed), and/or industrial.
• Develop advanced technologies, monitoring devices, modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to reduce the volume and toxicity of pollutants, account for the negative environmental impact of municipal facilities, industrial facilities, power plants, and transportation vehicles/systems, and allow for greater use of water resources.
• Oversee and monitor cross-functional teams to execute mid-level projects including budgets, tracking hours and expenses, task completion, permit applications, compliance documentation, and regulatory and technical analysis memos.
• Coordinate, review and approve infrastructure design plans, ensuring data integrity and work is compliant with all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
• Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, reports, models, cross-sections, and other illustrations for the interpretation or presentation of more complex data, findings, or analyses.
• Prepare comprehensive technical reports and presentations that explain research, findings, and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, clean‑up, or address water/wastewater/stormwater issues or problems.
• Analyze, evaluate, and interpret data obtained during field investigations, offering input with developing action plans for moderate‑to‑high‑level threat mitigation activities.
• Perform concept level design of treatment works and analyze hydrologic and hydraulic models and computations.
• Design wastewater treatment methods or creating solutions for transport when product is used for reclaimed water purposes.
• Prepare and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
• Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients in a confident and professional manner.
• Collaborate with professionals from a variety of disciplines to provide future ready solutions for clients.
• Remain current in latest wastewater engineering strategies.
• Exercise responsible and ethical decision‑making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
• Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering, with a focus in Wastewater or closely related discipline.
• 7 to 10 years of relevant post education experience in wastewater treatment or conveyance engineering.
• Engineer license required.
• Proficient knowledge of water/wastewater/water resource engineering principles, practices, process, design/build, and the application to environmental permitting and project work‑related issues.
• Proficient ability to coordinate with agency regulators and understand requirements.
• Well‑defined specific…
