About The Position

Strong communities don’t just happen. They’re thoughtfully planned and future-ready. We bring life to urban downtowns, suburban hubs, small towns, and rural areas through master-planned communities, mixed-use developments, parks, and recreation facilities. The result: vibrant economic centers, resilient neighborhoods, and welcoming places that feel like home. If you’re passionate about empowering communities, join us to discover a career with endless opportunities to make communities more equitable, resilient, and livable. Your Opportunity The role of a Water Resources EIT is to work on smaller projects, and as a team member of larger projects under the close guidance and supervision of a senior engineer/designer. You will perform a variety of tasks which include calculations, significant field work, coordination of simple tasks, and meeting attendance and recording. The smaller projects that an entry-level civil engineer may be assigned to will have relatively few complex features; however, you should be able to evaluate, select, specify, and engineer systems or products for a project. In general, a Water Resources EIT will assist more senior engineers/designers by performing the routine aspects of civil engineering assignments.
