Together with our clients, we are thinking and doing things differently to help pre-empt and prepare for what's next. Be a part of this dynamic and committed team of diverse water specialists and drive change for your community. You’ll be able to apply our powerful global network of skills and decades of experience to create positive water outcomes that respect nature and nurture communities.

Your work will directly contribute to resilient, reliable systems that protect public health and support long-term community growth. You’ll be engaged throughout the project lifecycle, from planning and design through construction support, preparing technical drawings, specifications, contract documents, and cost estimates while contributing to hydraulic modeling and system evaluations. This role offers meaningful collaboration with municipalities, utility authorities, regulators, and stakeholders, as well as hands-on involvement during construction through RFIs, shop drawing reviews, and field support. As part of a collaborative team, you’ll also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, strengthen technical excellence, and grow your career while making a tangible impact on the communities you serve.
