Senior Hydraulic Modeler

What Your Day Will Look Like:

As a Senior Hydraulic Modeler, you’ll support municipal utility clients by developing and analyzing hydrologic and hydraulic models that inform the design and optimization of critical water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure, specifically pressure pipe, and drinking water systems. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, planners, and GIS specialists to evaluate system capacity, identify deficiencies, and guide rehabilitation or expansion strategies. Your work will play a vital role in ensuring resilient, efficient, and regulatory-compliant utility systems that serve growing communities across the U.S

• Develop, calibrate, and maintain hydraulic and hydrologic models for water distribution, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems using software such as SWMM, EPASWMM, EPANET, Info Water Pro, Info Works ICM, InfoSWMM, Water
