<a href="https://wehired.agency/jobs/" style="color:var(--primary-color); font-weight:600;">Remote</a> Water Resources Engineer – Join a Cutting‑Edge Sustainable Projects Team

Ready to apply your engineering expertise to solve real‑world water challenges—without leaving your home office? We partner with a top‑tier environmental consultancy that delivers innovative, climate‑smart water solutions for municipalities, utilities, and private developers across the globe. This fully remote role offers flexibility, impact, and a collaborative culture that values creativity and scientific rigor.

Salary Range

$78,000 – $105,000 USD per year (based on experience, certifications, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments). This competitive package includes performance bonuses, a comprehensive benefits suite, and a professional development stipend.

About the Role

The Remote Water Resources Engineer will lead the technical design, analysis, and optimization of water supply, storm‑water, and wastewater systems for a diverse portfolio of projects. Working closely with project managers, hydrologists, and GIS specialists, you will translate complex data into actionable engineering solutions while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop hydraulic and hydrologic models using HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HEC‑HS, SWMM, and other industry‑standard tools.
  • Design water distribution networks, flood mitigation structures, and green infrastructure components.
  • Prepare technical reports, permit applications, and construction documents for clients and regulatory agencies.
  • Conduct virtual site assessments, stakeholder workshops, and interdisciplinary coordination meetings via video conference.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to cross‑functional teams.
  • Stay current with emerging water‑resource technologies, climate‑adaptation strategies, and sustainability standards (e.g., ISO 14001, LEED).

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility to obtain one within 12 months.
  • Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in water‑resources design, modeling, or planning.
  • Proficiency with hydraulic modeling software (HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HEC‑HS, SWMM) and GIS platforms (ArcGIS, QGIS).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to convey technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
  • Self‑motivated, disciplined, and comfortable managing multiple remote projects simultaneously.
  • Reliable high‑speed internet connection and a dedicated home office setup.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with climate‑resilience assessments and flood risk mapping.
  • Familiarity with cloud‑based collaboration tools (e.g., BIM 360, SharePoint, Slack).
  • Certification in Water Resources (e.g., CWW, CWI) or Sustainable Design (LEED AP).
  • Background in community outreach or public‑sector consulting.

Benefits & Perks

  • Fully remote work with flexible scheduling – work from anywhere in the United States.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
  • 401(k) plan with company match up to 5% of salary.
  • Generous paid time off (PTO) plus holidays and a floating “wellness” day.
  • Annual professional development budget (up to $2,500) for conferences, certifications, or coursework.
  • Home office stipend ($1,000) and quarterly technology refresh allowance.
  • Employee assistance program, mental‑health resources, and virtual wellness challenges.

Why This Remote Role Stands Out

Our client believes that great engineering doesn’t need a traditional office. By leveraging cloud‑based modeling platforms and virtual collaboration suites, the team delivers high‑impact projects on time and under budget—while you enjoy the work‑life balance that remote work provides. You’ll be part of a mission‑driven organization that prioritizes environmental stewardship, social equity, and professional growth.

How to Position Yourself for Success

Showcase a portfolio that includes:

  • Detailed case studies of water‑resource projects you led or contributed to.
  • Clear documentation of modeling methodology, results, and client outcomes.
  • Examples of remote teamwork—virtual meetings, shared repositories, and cross‑time‑zone coordination.

Highlight any experience with climate‑adaptation planning, green infrastructure, or community‑based water management, as these are increasingly valued by the firm’s clientele.

Next Steps

If you’re an innovative engineer eager to shape resilient water systems from the comfort of your home, this Remote Water Resources Engineer position offers the perfect blend of technical challenge, professional autonomy, and meaningful impact. Prepare your résumé, a concise cover letter outlining your remote‑work experience, and a link to your project portfolio. The hiring team looks forward to connecting with you!
