Water Resources Engineer-In-Training (EIT)

Your Opportunity

The role of a Water Resources EIT is to work on smaller projects, and as a team member of larger projects under the close guidance and supervision of a senior engineer/designer. You should be able to evaluate, select, specify, and engineer systems or products for a project. You will perform a variety of tasks which may include calculations, field work, coordination of simple tasks, and meeting attendance and recording. The smaller projects that an entry level civil engineer may be assigned to will have relatively few complex features. In general, a Water Resources EIT will assist more senior engineers/designers by performing the routine aspects of civil engineering assignments.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Use knowledge of general concepts of relevant civil engineering elements including system hydraulics, surveying and topographic mapping, geotechnical considerations, grading, utility investigations and analyses.
• Assist in creation of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and accompanying geospatial data.
• Assist team in preparing civil designs, drawings, specifications, presentations and reports.
• Conduct basic calculations and performs other duties of a similar nature and level as assigned and under the supervision of a project engineer.
• May perform field work related to pilot and/or construction related activities.
• Assists in supporting the civil team in providing support services during construction that can include submittal reviews, responses to requests for information and contract document clarifications.
• Perform other duties of a similar nature and level as assigned.

Your Capabilities and Credentials

• Basic understanding of general concepts of relevant areas of civil engineering design including gravity and pressure systems, geotechnical, survey, storm water/drainage design, road design, erosion and sediment control, and grading.
• Ability to participate and collaborate in project team setting and to engage in creative and critical thought.
• Understanding of civil engineering concepts and ability to effectively communicate ideas to others.
• Ability to participate and collaborate in project team setting and to engage in creative and critical thought.
• Ability to interpret sketches, engineering drawings, and other similar material.
• Basic experience in Microsoft Office, as well as relevant discipline software programs, which may include AutoCAD Civil3D, GIS, HECRAS, MicroStation/OpenRoads, PCSWMM, XPSWMM, HydroCAD, (or other modeling software).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Possess a valid driver's license with a good driving record.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Civil or Environmental Engineering.
• EIT designation or the ability to take the EIT exam in the near future.
• 0+ years of experience. Previous Co-op/Internship experience preferred.
• Education or experience with surface water resources, natural resources, soil science, or hydrogeology would be considered as assets.

Typical office environment working with computers and remaining sedentary for long periods of time. Field work may include exposure to the elements including inclement weather.
