Senior Water Resources Project Manager

Join a well-established, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with a strong reputation across water resources, hydraulic modelling, watershed management, and resilience‑focused infrastructure. The team delivers complex, high‑impact projects spanning flood risk management, stormwater systems, watershed planning, and environmental programs for a range of public‑sector clients.

This role sits at the intersection of technical excellence and strategic project delivery. You will lead complex hydrologic and hydraulic modelling efforts while helping shape broader project outcomes across floodplain management and resilience initiatives. The position offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced technical leaders on large‑scale, multi‑stakeholder programs with regional and national impact—without being purely production‑focused.

• Lead hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, watershed analysis, and flood risk/resilience projects
• Act as a technical reviewer and subject matter advisor on modelling, data analysis, and outputs
• Manage projects from scoping through delivery, including budgets, schedules, and client coordination
• Support development of flood risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and resilience frameworks
• Provide QA/QC oversight on reports, models, and technical deliverables
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across infrastructure, restoration, and planning initiatives
• Contribute to proposals and strategic pursuits where technical input is required
• Mentor junior staff and support internal standards, best practices, and technical development

• Bachelor's or Master's in Civil, Environmental, or Water Resources Engineering
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required or ability to obtain
• 10+ years of experience in water resources, floodplain, or environmental engineering
• Strong technical background in hydrology, hydraulics, watershed modelling, or water quality
• Experience with flood risk, FEMA‑related, or resilience‑focused programs advantageous
• Proficiency in tools such as HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HMS, ICPR, GIS, or similar platforms
• Proven ability to operate in a technical leadership, project management, or hybrid role
• Experience working with public‑sector clients (municipal, state, or federal)

• Focus on technical leadership and strategic project delivery rather than heavy business development
• Opportunity to contribute to complex, multi‑stakeholder resilience and infrastructure programs
• Exposure to regionally significant flood risk and watershed initiatives
• Clear pathway into senior technical or program leadership roles
• Collaborative environment emphasizing technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and mentorship

• Hydrologic & hydraulic modelling (HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HMS, ICPR, GIS)
• Floodplain, watershed & resilience planning expertise
• Strong technical review & QA/QC capability
• Project management (budgets, schedules, client delivery)
• Public‑sector project experience (municipal/state/federal)
• Risk assessment & mitigation strategy development
• Stakeholder coordination across multidisciplinary teams
• Mentorship & technical leadership
