    Summary

    Delta Oaks Group is seeking an individual to perform various hydrologic/hydraulic engineering, civil-site engineering, site planning, and erosion control tasks, including but not limited to qualitative stream stability assessments, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, scour investigations, small commercial site layouts, and grading plans. HEC-RAS experience is required, and experience and/or knowledge of general grading, stormwater design principles, and an ability to evaluate the relationship between civil infrastructure and grading/topography, drainage patterns, the soil matrix, and erosion is desired.

    Duties and Responsibilities

    The selected individual will be expected lead projects from commencement to completion, including the ability to:

    Construct hydrologic/hydraulic models of river/stream systems in order to determine various hydraulic parameters and their effect on the built environment

    Perform scour evaluations in accordance with HEC-18

    Perform desktop stream stability assessments through the evaluation of various river geomorphology factors

    Develop site plans for small commercial developments including overall site layouts, grading plans, erosion and sediment control plans, plan and elevation views, utility plans, etc.

    Analyze stormwater/drainage systems to control erosion, stabilize infrastructure, and repair deteriorated roadway sections

    Perform computer-aided design of stormwater channels, ditches, pipelines, and other drainage components to produce plans in accordance with various standards and criteria

    Knowledge and Skills Required

    HEC-RAS experience is required.
