“`html

Are you a passionate engineer who thrives on solving complex water‑related challenges from the comfort of your home office? Join a fast‑growing, tech‑driven consultancy that partners with municipalities, utilities, and NGOs to design resilient water systems that protect communities and ecosystems alike.

About the Role

As a Remote Water Resources Engineer, you will lead the technical planning, design, and analysis of water‑resource projects across the United States. You’ll collaborate virtually with multidisciplinary teams, leverage cutting‑edge modeling software, and translate data‑driven insights into actionable recommendations for clients ranging from city planners to federal agencies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop hydraulic and hydrologic models (HEC‑RAS, SWMM, HEC‑HMS) to assess flood risk, storm‑water conveyance, and watershed health.
• Conduct site assessments, data collection, and field verification using remote sensing tools and GIS platforms.
• Prepare technical reports, design specifications, and permit‑ready documentation that meet EPA, USACE, and state regulations.
• Lead virtual workshops and stakeholder meetings to communicate findings and secure project buy‑in.
• Mentor junior engineers and interns, fostering a collaborative, knowledge‑sharing culture.
• Stay current on emerging water‑policy trends, climate‑adaptation strategies, and innovative green infrastructure solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
• Professional Engineer (PE) licensure in at least one U.S. state or eligibility to obtain it within 12 months.
• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in water‑resources engineering, floodplain mapping, or storm‑water design.
• Proficiency with hydraulic modeling software (HEC‑RAS, SWMM, HEC‑HMS) and GIS (ArcGIS or QGIS).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to convey technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Self‑motivated, reliable internet connection, and a dedicated home office setup (dual monitors recommended).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with climate‑impact assessments and resilient infrastructure design.
• Familiarity with federal grant programs (e.g., FEMA, EPA’s Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act).
• Certification in Project Management (PMP) or Agile methodologies.
• Knowledge of Python or R for data analysis and automation.

Benefits

• Fully remote work with flexible hours – design your schedule around peak productivity.
• Competitive salary range: $85,000 – $115,000 USD/year (based on experience and licensure).
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans with HSA contributions.
• 401(k) plan with company match up to 5%.
• Generous paid time off (PTO) plus 10 paid holidays.
• Annual professional development stipend for conferences, certifications, or coursework.
• Home‑office allowance for ergonomic furniture and high‑speed internet.
• Access to a collaborative virtual community, including mentorship programs and wellness resources.

Salary Range

Based on industry benchmarks for remote water‑resources engineers with 3‑7 years of experience, the expected compensation falls between $85,000 and $115,000 USD per year. Candidates with a PE license, advanced degrees, or specialized climate‑adaptation expertise may qualify for the upper end of this range.
