Sr. H&H Design Engineer

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in civil water resources design
• Possess a California PE License (Multi-State licensure is a plus)
• Bachelor’s degree (Master’s Preferred) in environmental/civil engineering, hydrology or related field.
• Experience in the development of construction documents (PS&E) for water resources projects.
• Working knowledge of hydrology and hydraulic modeling.
• Working knowledge of stormwater management and drainage infrastructure.
• Proficient technical writing skills and ability to translate complex findings into graphics.
• Strong time management and organizational skills.
• Proactive nature

Responsibilities

• Development of full civil/water resource design projects from concept to construction bid including preparation of construction documents, specifications, and cost estimates while controlling schedule and budget.
• Teaching and mentoring project engineer level production staff. 
• Assist project manager with keeping projects on track by understanding next steps and proactively planning and executing upcoming tasks.
• Preparation of proposals and project scope write-ups for new pursuits.
• Use AutoCAD and Civil 3D (MicroStation is a plus) software to create civil construction documents for water resources design projects. Project work will involve grading, hydraulics, hydrology, site layout, soil erosion and sediment control and utility / infrastructure designs.
• (Preferred) Performs detailed Hydrologic studies including, but not limited to: 1) reconstitution of storm and floods to establish rainfall-runoff relationships, 2) regional frequency analyses, 3) discharge-frequency and precipitation-frequency analyses, 4) reservoir system simulations and routing, 5) calibration of rainfall-runoff models, 6) debris and sediment estimates, 7) reservoir yields, 8) development of probable maximum floods, standard project floods and n-year design floods and 9) local County hydrology procedures to determine peak flow rates and hydrographs for n-year storm events.
• (Preferred) Performs detailed Hydraulic and sedimentation studies including, but not limited to: 1) analysis of complex flood hydraulic problems using advanced 1-, 2-, or 3- dimensional hydraulic models, 2) design of super- and sub-critical flood control channels and levees, 3) design of debris basins, dams and other hydraulic structures, 4) analysis of river sediment transport characteristics with advanced 1- or 2-dimensional sediment transport models, 5) scour analyses.
• Provide necessary design, coordination, and follow-up on work to ensure quality standards are met and efficiency levels are maintained.
• Demonstrate commitment and organized approach to work and willingness to ask questions.
• Commit to the various duties necessary to advance Craftwater’s qualifications and reputation in the industry.
• Employ critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills to formulate engineering solutions to challenging problems and achieve new technical and professional goals.
• Describe and present project efforts and goals in a way that is easily understood by clients and the public at large.
