Hydraulic Modeler

YOUR DAY-DAY WILL INCLUDE:

·       Develop, update, calibrate, and maintain water distribution and wastewater collection system models for planning, design, and operational evaluations.

·       Perform scenario analyses such as system capacity and level-of-service evaluations; pipe and pump sizing; booster/pump station evaluations; and fire flow, pressure zone, storage, and water age/water quality screening (as applicable).

·       Compile, review, and validate model input data from GIS, as-builts, asset inventories, SCADA/telemetry, flow monitoring, and field testing.

·       Use GIS (Esri ArcGIS/ArcGIS Pro) to prepare, spatially validate, and manage model datasets (e.g., networks, demands, basins, customer meters, assets).

·       Apply data analysis methods to identify trends, data gaps, anomalies, and optimization opportunities; develop dashboards, tables, and clear visualizations for technical and non-technical audiences.

·       Prepare technical memoranda and report sections documenting assumptions, calibration, results, and recommended improvements.

·       Coordinate with multi-discipline teams to support master planning, design, permitting, and construction support activities.

·       Participate in client meetings; communicate modeling approach and findings effectively.

 WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

·       Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or related discipline.

·       Masters preferred but not required.

·       EI (Engineer Intern) / EIT certification required (active and in good standing).

·       Demonstrated experience with water and/or wastewater modeling software, such as:

.       Bentley WaterGEMS/WaterCAD, SewerCAD/SewerGEMS

.       InfoWorks ICM/WS Pro, EPANET, SWMM (or comparable tools)

·       Working proficiency with Esri ArcGIS tools and geospatial datasets.

·       Strong data analysis skills (advanced Excel; experience with Python/R and/or SQL is a plus).

·       Strong technical writing and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively on multiple concurrent assignments.

·       Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally as needed for field verification/support (project-dependent).

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT:

·       Very good presentation, technical writing, and public speaking skills .

·       Experience calibrating models using field data (e.g., flow tests, hydrant tests, pressure logging, flow monitoring).

·       Familiarity with utility planning and operations (e.g., CIP support, asset management integration).

·       Experience with model animation/visualization and presentation-ready outputs.

·       Experience with implementation of machine learning and/or AI methods to solve engineering problems

·       Participation in industry organizations is encouraged (e.g., AWWA, WEF, ASCE/EWRI, local utility associations); presenting or publishing is a plus.

·       Progress toward PE licensure (or ability/intent to obtain PE within an established timeframe)
