Hydraulic Modeler

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

• Support the overall Project Manager by executing project management responsibilities for hydraulic modeling assignments, including developing hours estimates, scope, and schedules.
• Provide design status updates to the Project Manager.
• Complete hydraulic modeling projects using advanced discipline knowledge, client specifications and guidelines, using required modeling software and GIS tools.
• Create, update, and calibrate hydraulic models of sanitary sewer collection systems and potable water distribution systems; stormwater conveyance modeling experience is a plus but not the primary focus.
• Execute activities on projects for master planning and modeling of water/wastewater conveyance systems, including capacity assessments, rehabilitation planning, and capital improvement planning.
• Assess and identify collection/distribution system performance deficiencies, predict future issues, and develop solutions for planning and design projects.
• Prepare calculations, hydraulic models and other technical deliverables for utility conveyance and infrastructure-related projects.
• Track the budgets of modeling task(s).
• Execute quality control and quality assurance plans as provided by the PMP for the project.
• Perform technical and quality control review of study, planning and design documents.
• Delegate project tasks to project team members.
• Coach and mentor design staff through the hydraulic modeling process.
• Provide consultative services to the client(s), including attending client meetings, providing timely updates, and developing appropriate solutions to meet their expectations.
• Collaborate with and manage project sub-consultants and other internal disciplines.
• Develop extra work order requests and open-end contract task proposals.
• Perform alternative studies, evaluate impacts, and develop and finalize reports for the client.
• Plan, schedule, conduct or coordinate detailed phases of the engineering work in a part of a major project or in a total project of moderate scope.
• Perform or check design computations.
• Prepare and compile contract plans, specifications and estimates.
• Coordinate with internal team members to ensure alignment and project completion by the defined deadline and established quality.
• Provide technical oversight and guidance/support of Design Engineers within the department.

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program.
• 8–10 years of experience in water/wastewater conveyance or closely related hydraulic modeling work.
• Demonstrated experience with hydraulic modeling of sanitary sewer collection systems and potable water distribution systems for municipal or utility clients.
• Proficient with hydraulic modeling, transient analyses, data management, and related software packages such as InfoWorks, WaterGEMS, XPSWMM, PCSWMM, KY Pipe, EPA-SWMM, or similar tools used for water/wastewater conveyance systems.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Presentation skills.
• Familiarity with hydraulic designs, sewer rehabilitation, water and sewer design, engineering economics, and engineering report writing.

Preferred Experience

• Experience working with local clients at the county and state level in the Mid-Atlantic region.
• Professional Engineer (PE) License.
• Experience leading or mentoring teams on water/wastewater utility modeling projects.
