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.
Experience with computer drafting software, AutoCAD, is required.
Experience with modeling/design tools, such as TR-55/TR-20, Hydraflow, HydroCAD, HEC-HMS, and/or ARCGIS is required. Experience using LIDAR data is highly desired.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office software, particularly Microsoft Excel and Word is required.
Knowledge of riverine scour theory/principles is a plus.
Personal Traits
The ideal candidate will be self-motivated worker, capable of operating in a team-oriented environment intended to complete projects effectively and efficiently. He/She should have strong interpersonal skills, as this position requires working and interacting with fellow co-workers on a daily basis.
