- Develop hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to support stormwater infrastructure design and watershed management solutions.
- Prepare construction drawings, technical reports, calculations, and supporting documentation for stormwater and site development projects.
- Conduct field investigations and site evaluations to assess existing drainage conditions and support project design development.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, clients, municipalities, and regulatory agencies to deliver successful project outcomes.
