2 years experience in the following: Apply theories and principles of science, engineering, GIS, and mathematics to the design and development of water resource management systems and water quality analysis. Evaluate watershed management options, utilizing hydrologic analysis to model the flow of water. Prepare drainage reports and water quality and quantity studies. Design water management systems and components that preserve and enhance water quantity and quality within supply and drainage works for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural purposes. Perform hydraulic analysis of streams, channels, creeks, and lakes to determine water levels, velocity, total energy, and erosive force. Utilize hydraulic model analysis to identify causes of problems such as flooding, soil erosion and degraded streams and lakes and determine ways to prevent or remedy these problems. Design and plan water systems, conveyance (piping, wells, tanks, and storage facilities) and utilities, including water lines, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers to ensure that all aspects of the project meet the necessary engineering standards. Review and analyze engineering drawings/schematics, and prepare reports on the operation, maintenance and repair of water resource facilities such as dams, aqueducts, water supply systems, drainage systems, sewerage systems. Design and prepare plans and models for drainage channels, small dams, and flood control structures. Confer with local authorities, land planners, development specialists, and special interest groups to analyze and recommend design proposals of water resource facilities. Review government plans and policies and make recommendations on measures affecting watershed management, floodplains, and water resource facilities. Review environmental impact data and reports and apply results to specified private and public planning projects and programs, and advise clients on project feasibility, cost-effectiveness, regulatory conformance, and possible design alternatives. Analyze and determine the effects of regulatory limitations on projects. Keep informed about USACE and FEMA floodplain management regulations and procedures. Utilize computers and the following software for design, analysis, modeling and presentation of projects: Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing (GIS-Arc Info, Arcview,), CAD software (AutoCAD, Microstation V6, STORM CAD), Hydrologic and Hydraulic Models - HECRAS, GEO-HECRAS, HSPF, CUHP, SWMM 5.1, Office Productivity (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint), Bentley In-Roads. This position requires a Master's Degree in Hydrology, a related field, or the foreign education equivalent.
