Remote Water Resources Engineer –Join a Leading Environmental Consulting Firm

Discover a fully remote opportunity to shape sustainable water management solutions for major infrastructure projects across the United States. This role combines technical excellence with innovative research in a collaborative, mission‑driven environment.

About the Role

Our client, a nationally recognized environmental engineering consultancy, is seeking a detail‑oriented Water Resources Engineer to lead hydrologic modeling, watershed analysis, and regulatory compliance for diverse projects ranging from urban development to renewable energy sites. The position offers the flexibility of remote work while requiring close coordination with multidisciplinary teams, clients, and government agencies.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and calibrate surface‑water and groundwater simulation models using industry‑standard software such as HEC‑RAS, SWAT, and MODFLOW. Conduct floodplain mapping, hydraulic routing analyses, and climate‑impact assessments to support project feasibility studies. Prepare technical reports, present findings to stakeholders, and ensure all deliverables meet rigorous quality and safety standards. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continual improvement of internal best‑practice guidelines.

Requirements

Professional Engineer (PE) license in Civil or Environmental Engineering is strongly preferred. Candidates must hold a Master’s degree in Hydrology, Water Resources, or a closely related field, along with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in water resources engineering. Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or R for data analysis, as well as hands‑on experience with GIS platforms like ArcGIS or QGIS, is essential. Strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced, remote setting are critical.

Education and Experience

A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Hydrology provides the foundational knowledge, while advanced coursework in stochastic hydrology, climate science, and environmental law adds significant value. Applicants should demonstrate a proven track record of delivering complex modeling projects on schedule, with documented successes in securing permits and navigating regulatory frameworks.

Benefits

Competitive compensation package includes health, dental, and vision insurance, generous paid time off, and a 401(k) plan with employer matching. Employees enjoy a flexible remote work model, cutting‑edge technology stipends, and continuous professional development through conferences and certifications. Our inclusive culture emphasizes work‑life balance, mental‑health resources, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Why This Role Stands Out

Join a forward‑thinking organization that invests heavily in sustainable infrastructure and offers unparalleled exposure to high‑impact projects nationwide. As a remote Water Resources Engineer, you will collaborate with leading experts, influence policy decisions, and contribute directly to resilient water systems that benefit communities for generations.

Salary Range

$55,000 – $75,000 USD per year, based on experience, qualifications, and market benchmarks.
