Senior Technical Manager, Water Resources Engineering

This Opportunity

Provides subject matter technical support and leadership for multi-site/phase water resources engineering work processes, due diligence, investigation, remediation, impact assessment, and environmental permitting projects.  Ensures project elements and processes relating to water supply, stormwater facilities, irrigation facilities, culverts, hydrology, open channel hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, floodplain modeling/mapping, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, river/stream/habitat restoration and fish passage, pollution control and treatment, and preserving the environment are conveyed and acted upon with a high level of quality and compliance.  Responsible for providing situational guidance to PMs and managers that address current and future environmental challenges, and that documentation and recommendations accurately account for and address long-term risks to ecological and human health.  Leads environmental site assessments, corrective strategies, classification of contaminated materials, and treatment, disposal, and/or onsite remediation activities to avert degradation of water resources.  Ensures that responsibilities are delivered and adhered to with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards.

Your Impact

• Provide oversight with data collection efforts for collecting, identifying, and compiling environmental data from samples of water, sludge, and other matrices for projects, investigations, and surveys. 
• Perform high-level professional water resources engineering work and conducts more complex/comprehensive investigations and inspections relating to water supply/quality/management, stormwater facilities, irrigation facilities, culverts, hydrology, open channel hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, floodplain modeling/mapping, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, canal development,  river/stream/habitat restoration and fish passage, waste disposal, and pollution control and treatment activities to avert the contamination and degradation of water resources and determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and construction or operating permits.
• Ensure and validate that the planning and management of available water supply is adequately leveraged, treated, improved upon and remains safe for various end uses – recreationally, commercially, and/or industrially.
• Develop advanced technologies, monitoring devices, modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to reduce the volume and toxicity of pollutants, account for the negative environmental impact of industrial facilities, power plants, and transportation vehicles/systems, and allow for greater use of water resources.
• Lead larger-scale engineering projects ensuring contributors know what they are required to do and by when, preparing and overseeing relevant project budgets, monitoring external events, tracking hours and expenses, ensuring satisfactory performance, and supervising subcontractors, contract work, and employees.
• Lead environmental site assessments (Phase I and II).
• Assist with engineering review of permit applications, engineering design plans and specifications, standby plans and engineering contracts, integrated waste management plans, and periodic construction inspections, to ensure that they comply with applicable state and/or federal regulations and sound engineering practice and standards.
• Perform concept level design of treatment works and analyze hydrologic and hydraulic models and computations for storm water and watershed master planning, stream restoration, and water quality studies.
• Design water purification methods through desalination or creating new equipment for contaminant transport when water is used for irrigation purposes.
• Design a variety of facilities, such as bioretentions, green roofs, permeable pavements, stormwater ponds, manufactured treatment devices, and underground detention facilities.
• Prepare watershed studies, floodplain studies, and evaluate regulated impoundment structures for compliance with regulations. 
• Meet with various public or private entities or individuals to discuss issues relating to a variety of environmental problems and programs. 
• Ensure technical reports and presentations explain research, findings, and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, clean-up, or address environmental issues or problems. 
• Develop action plans for larger-scale pollution, corrosion, hazardous waste, and environmental control programs.
• Develop a client base for providing high level water resources engineering services including identifying additional business development opportunities.
• Mentor staff to support their growth and professional development.
• Remain current in latest water resources engineering techniques.
• Collaborates with professionals from a variety of disciplines
