• Design stormwater best management practices (e.g., infiltration basins, bioretention areas, filters) in accordance with agency requirements
• Prepare and oversee development of design documentation including drawings and technical specifications (with ability to directly assist as required)
• Provide senior review of engineering calculation briefs, design reports, design drawings, technical specifications, and permitting submittals
• Provide office-based construction support, including providing contractor assistance (e.g., responding to RFIs), technical submittal review, and implementing real-time design changes based on conditions encountered in the field
• Present on technical and engineering topics to clients and regulatory agencies
