Responsibilities include reviewing analyses and designs, identifying improvements, and serving as an in-house technical expert through mentoring and knowledge sharing, while collaborating on hydropower, renewable energy, and ecological restoration projects nationwide. This is a highly senior, hands?on technical role requiring deep, direct experience performing and leading fisheries engineering design.This is a hybrid, full-time position based in Portland, OR.

Responsibilities:

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams of engineers and scientists in the delivery of fish passage projects and potentially assist in business development and client management activities.
• Perform and/or manage structural, civil, hydraulic, and mechanical design tasks in support of fisheries engineering projects across the USA and Canada.
• Personally perform and lead complex fisheries engineering design and analysis, with responsibility for technical decisions rather than primarily assigning or overseeing work.
• Join a team of technical professionals working on fisheries, hydropower, renewable energy, and ecological restoration projects in the U.S. and Canada.
• Review analyses and designs to identify areas for improvement and omissions, providing feedback to others.
