Nice To Haves

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and calibrate hydraulic models for water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, reclaimed water systems, and force main networks.
• Utilize Bentley WaterCAD and WaterGEMS to evaluate system performance under existing and future conditions, analyzing pressures, velocities, fire flow availability, storage requirements, and system reliability.
• Perform scenario analyses to evaluate growth, infrastructure improvements, operational changes, and emergency conditions, and develop recommendations for system optimization and capital improvement planning.
• Create and manage master utility models for large-scale, multi-phase development projects, evaluating infrastructure requirements associated with phased growth and future buildout conditions.
• Identify capacity constraints and recommend utility improvements to support future development, preparing technical memorandums and utility planning reports.
• Coordinate with land development teams to integrate utility planning into overall site development strategies.
• Model wastewater collection systems and force main networks, evaluate lift station performance and hydraulic grade lines, and support lift station sizing and design efforts.
• Perform pump selection and pump system evaluations, analyzing wet well storage requirements, pump curves, operating conditions, and system efficiencies.
• Develop alternatives for system expansion, redundancy, and operational reliability.
• Provide hydraulic modeling support for utility design projects and collaborate with utility engineers during preliminary and final design.
• Support preparation of engineering reports, calculations, technical specifications, and permit applications, and assist with construction-phase troubleshooting and operational analyses.
• Maintain utility system databases and model inventories, and coordinate GIS, survey, and utility record information for model development.
• Verify model accuracy through field data, flow monitoring, pressure testing, and utility owner records, and develop model documentation standards and quality control procedures.
• Present technical findings and recommendations to clients and project teams.
• Collaborate with municipal utility departments, developers, and regulatory agencies.
• Support proposals, interviews, and technical pursuits involving utility planning and modeling services.
• Mentor engineers and designers in hydraulic modeling principles and best practices.
