Remote Water Resources Engineer – Shape Sustainable Futures from Anywhere

“`html

Are you passionate about protecting our planet’s most precious resource while enjoying the freedom of a fully remote career? Our client, a fast‑growing environmental consultancy, is seeking a skilled Water Resources Engineer to design, model, and implement water‑management projects for municipalities, utilities, and private developers across the United States.

Salary Range

Estimated Compensation: $75,000 – $95,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, certifications, and proven project success.

About the Role

As a Remote Water Resources Engineer, you will be the technical backbone of multidisciplinary teams delivering high‑impact solutions for flood risk mitigation, stormwater management, and water‑quality improvement. You will work from your home office, leveraging cloud‑based modeling tools and video‑conference collaboration platforms to lead projects from concept through construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop hydraulic and hydrologic models using HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HEC‑HM, SWMM, and GIS to evaluate watershed behavior.
• Prepare detailed design calculations, construction drawings, and technical reports for regulatory submissions.
• Conduct virtual site assessments and liaise with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies through video calls and digital document sharing.
• Perform climate‑change scenario analysis to future‑proof water infrastructure.
• Mentor junior engineers and interns via remote training sessions and collaborative workspaces.
• Stay current with EPA, USACE, and state‑level guidelines to ensure compliance and best‑practice implementation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
• Professional Engineer (PE) licensure or eligibility within 2 years.
• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in water resources engineering, including floodplain mapping and stormwater design.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard software: HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HEC‑HM, SWMM, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and ArcGIS.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data sets.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; experience presenting technical information to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Self‑motivated, disciplined, and comfortable managing multiple remote projects simultaneously.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with low‑impact development (LID) practices and green infrastructure.
• Knowledge of climate‑resilience frameworks and adaptation planning.
• Certification in Stormwater Management (e.g., CSM, LID Professional).
• Familiarity with cloud collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, and BIM 360.

Benefits

• 100% remote work – set up your own ergonomic home office with a stipend for equipment.
• Competitive salary with annual performance bonuses.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) with company match up to 5%.
• Generous paid time off (PTO) and flexible holiday schedule.
• Professional development budget for certifications, conferences, and online courses.
• Wellness program including virtual yoga, mental‑health counseling, and ergonomic assessments.
• Opportunity to work on high‑visibility projects that directly impact community resilience and sustainability.

Why This Remote Position Stands Out

Our client believes that top engineering talent thrives when given autonomy and trust. You’ll join a culture that values work‑life balance, encourages innovative thinking, and rewards results—no matter where you are located in the United States. With a robust onboarding program and dedicated IT support, you’ll have everything you need to succeed from day one.

How to Stand Out

When applying, be sure to include:

• A concise cover letter that highlights a recent water‑resources project you led remotely.
• Portfolio links or PDFs showcasing design drawings, model outputs, and client deliverables.
• Proof of licensure (or a clear path to obtaining it).

Next Steps

If you are ready to leverage your engineering expertise to create sustainable water solutions while enjoying the flexibility of a remote career, we want to hear from you. Submit your resume and supporting documents through the provided channel, and a senior recruiter will reach out to schedule a virtual interview.
