We’re looking for an experienced Water Resources Engineer - Ecological Restoration to help us deliver stream, wetland, and stormwater restoration projects from concept through construction across Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. This is a technical leadership role, remotely based —ideal for a licensed engineer with advanced design skills, modeling proficiency, and the ability to work across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure high-quality project delivery. You’ll be based out of one of our regional offices or design hubs, or working remotely, working closely with engineers, scientists, and project managers across disciplines. You’ll spend most of your time on technical design and coordination, with occasional travel for site assessments, field data collection, construction oversight, and agency meetings. See some of the projects our engineers work on here.

This position can be sitting in any of our Central offices, or if located remotely, occasional travel to project sites in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, and office events in Houston TX and/or Lafayette LA can be expected.

Why You’ll Love This Job

• You’ll apply advanced design skills to projects that make a lasting environmental impact

• You’ll contribute directly to permittable, buildable, field-tested solutions

• You’ll work with a talented, collaborative team who values science, innovation, and restoration

• You’ll have opportunities to mentor junior engineers and lead technical delivery

• You’ll engage with regulators and clients to help shape successful outcomes

A Day in the Life

As an Engineer III, you’ll lead the technical design and plan development for stream and wetland restoration and stormwater management projects. Your day may include reviewing survey data, developing HEC-RAS or TR-55 models, creating grading plans in Civil 3D, or coordinating with permitting specialists and PMs.

You’ll work with junior engineers to produce high-quality plan sets, run QA/QC reviews, and communicate with clients and agencies to support approval processes. In the field, you’ll perform site assessments and support QA/QC during construction to ensure plans are implemented as designed. Whether it’s creating concept plans or overseeing agency submittals, your work will help deliver real restoration on the ground.
