• 3+ years of experience in hydraulic/hydrologic modeling, stormwater design, or watershed management.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard software such as HEC‑RAS, SWMM, EPANET, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS).
• Strong understanding of FEMA floodplain regulations, NPDES permits, and state water quality standards.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to convey technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and capable of managing multiple projects independently in a remote setting.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range: $78,000 – $95,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) with company matching and retirement planning resources.
• Generous paid time off, holidays, and flexible work hours.
• Professional development stipend for certifications, conferences, and continuing education.
• Remote work equipment allowance (home office setup, high‑speed internet stipend).
• Wellness programs, including mental health resources and virtual fitness classes.
