If you’re interested in a rewarding career working with a global leader and the industry's best and most innovative professionals, Jacobs is where you belong. Our teams engage with new technologies and at the forefront of large, complex projects to help navigate the competing challenges involved with reliable water supply, management, conveyance, and natural resource protection.

We’re seeking a Conveyance/Hydraulic Modeling Engineer to help lead water and wastewater system planning, modeling, and design development services for a variety of related projects. In this role, you’ll work with other members of our local, regional, and national teams to perform specialized hydraulic modeling and capital planning assignments for conveyance and management systems of varied sizes, configurations, and capacities, and for a variety of clients.

Engagements will focus on wastewater and/or potable water systems, but may also involve irrigation, hydropower, and stormwater applications, supporting transmission, distribution, collection, treatment facilities, flood control, industrial facilities, or other needs.

This work involves new and innovative approaches and technologies in hydraulic modeling, system planning and evaluation, and solutions development using industry‑leading hydraulic modeling software, such as EPA SWMM, Info Works ICM, Mike Plus, PC SWMM, Sewer

GEMs, Info Water Pro , Water

GEMs, EPANet, Optimizer, and ArcGIS Pro.

In this work, you will be leading and performing technical tasks, quality control, and coordinating resources to support multiple concurrent projects through all phases of planning, execution, and closeout.
