Overview

RES is currently accepting applications for a Mid-Level Stream Restoration Engineer with 2+ years of experience, based out of our Glen Burnie, Maryland office.

The mission: Join a growing, multi-disciplinary, and innovative team of restoration designers and water resource engineers currently working on some of the nation’s largest stream and wetland restoration projects, hydraulic and hydrology investigations, and sustainable stormwater management.

You will have the opportunity to work on projects and contribute to their design throughout the entire project’s life cycle. Our designers/engineers are involved from the initial concept/site identification through assessment, design, construction, and long-term monitoring allowing our team to understand the full process of stream and wetland restoration projects and apply innovative techniques to future restoration projects.

This is a team with a flexible working style, that works collaboratively with teams of ecological restoration specialists to meet client and project needs.

Responsibilities

60% of your time, you will be designing. You will be participating in the development of natural resource plans, stream and/or wetland restoration plans, sustainable stormwater design plans, erosion and sediment control plans, and as-built plans under the support of senior staff. As you progress in your career, you will have the opportunity to design the entire project with the due supervision of our senior staff.

You will analyze the existing system, determine design parameters, and develop a 3-dimensional design in the Autodesk Civil 3D environment. As part of the design process you will be responsible for engineering evaluations, calculations, floodplain analyses, and tree conservation/save plans. You will be juggling several projects at the same time so superior attention to detail and ability to prioritize are paramount.

20% of the time, you will produce technical documentation associated with the restoration design process, including writing proposals, design summaries, permit applications, cost/quantity estimates, construction specifications, construction oversight reports, post-construction monitoring reports and coordinating with local & state agencies to facilitate all necessary permits. We might ask you to produce a writing piece to showcase your communication skills.

Around 20% of your time will consist of Fieldwork. You will be collaborating with scientists, land acquisition specialists, regulatory experts, senior design/engineering staff and construction teams doing the following:

• Carrying out the geomorphic and ecological site assessments, fulfilling mitigation crediting field protocols, and executing fluvial geomorphic/hydraulic surveys.
• Carrying out the collection and analysis of field data to establish existing conditions, identify potential design constraints, and helping to determine design parameters.
• Providing construction oversight as needed during project implementation.
• Restoration monitoring.

Fieldwork involves travel to job sites and occasional overnight stays.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of your job duties.

Qualifications

We would love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering with a water resources / environmental / ecological focus
• 2 to 5+ years’ experience in a natural resources design field (civil engineering, environmental engineering, biological systems engineering, agricultural engineering, or water resources engineering)
• AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, TR-55 or other hydrologic and hydraulic software
• Knowledge of field survey, data collection techniques and fluvial geomorphology
• EIT Certification, or ability to obtain within 6 months of employment
• Understanding of the use of regional regressions, regional curves, and reference data in stream restoration design
• Ability to develop ecological restoration construction plans, specifications and cost estimates
• Ability to evaluate design discharge, channel cross-section, profile, and planform using a variety of methods
• Ability to develop hydrologic & hydraulic models

What will make you stand out?

• State of Maryland PE
• Rosgen Levels 1+
• Familiarity with the Clean Water Act, local, state, and federal environmental regulations and permitting processes
• Familiarity with mitigation banking
• Familiarity with Maryland NRI/FSDs/TCPs or similar
