What are the responsibilities and job description for the Water Resources Engineer (Floodplain & Hydraulics) position at Manning Civil?
Manning Civil is a water resources and civil engineering firm based in the Boise area, specializing in floodplain and hydraulic modeling, FEMA LOMR/CLOMR permitting, stream alteration and restoration, public water system design, and stormwater management throughout the Intermountain West.
We do complex, meaningful work - and we're intentional about how we do it.
We're a small, high trust team, which means you'll have real ownership over projects and direct exposure to clients and agencies - your fingerprints are on the work, not buried in a deliverable that passes through six hands before it reaches a client. We work hard, love what we do, and respect that our employees have lives outside of it.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
We're looking for someone with 3 years of HEC-RAS production experience - someone who can step into active projects, develop defensible models, and produce clean, submittal-quality deliverables. You'll work across hydraulic and floodplain analyses, FEMA MT-2 submittals (CLOMR/LOMR/No-Rise), steady and unsteady simulations, drainage design, and more. Project scale varies, from focused technical studies to larger multi-stakeholder efforts.
You won't be working in a vacuum - we're a collaborative team and invested in the people who join us.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• PE license (Idaho or ability to obtain promptly)
• B.S. in Civil Engineering or closely related field
• 5–10 years of relevant hydraulics/water resources experience
• 3 years of hands-on HEC-RAS experience: geometry setup, model development, simulation runs, troubleshooting, and communicating results
• Strong technical writing and communication skills
• Someone who takes initiative and follows through
• Civil 3D and GIS experience preferred
THE DETAILS
• Hybrid schedule | Boise/Eagle, ID — local candidates preferred
• $95,000 – $125,000 (DOE)
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• SIMPLE IRA with 3% employer match
• Flexible schedule PTO
