Job Description

Description

Are you seeking a career where you can foster a positive working environment and enhance employee relations? Do you possess flexibility, proactivity, approachability, a knack for problem-solving, and a good sense of humor? If so, you’ve found the right place!

Wood Rodgers is seeking a motivated Project Engineer to join our Flood & Drainage team. This position is ideal for an engineer with 5 to 8 years of water resources experience who is passionate about hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, flood risk reduction, and development of resilient infrastructure. The successful candidate will support and lead technical studies involving stormwater systems, flood control facilities, drainage master plans, pump stations, floodplain analyses, and watershed management projects for public agencies throughout Colorado.  Working alongside senior engineers and project managers, you will develop engineering solutions using advanced modeling tools, GIS technology, and data-driven analysis to address complex flooding, drainage, and climate resilience challenges.


This is a staffed, hourly, non-exempt position.

A day in the life as a Wood Rodgers' Project Engineer
  • Develop hydrologic and hydraulic models for storm drain, watershed, floodplain, pump station, and flood control projects.
  • Build, calibrate, validate, and maintain engineering models using historical rainfall, flow monitoring, and field data.
  • Perform flood risk, drainage capacity, and infrastructure deficiency analyses.
  • Evaluate alternatives and develop Capital Improvement Program (CIP) recommendations.
  • Develop and manage GIS databases and map products to support engineering studies.
  • Support preparation of drainage master plans, FEMA flood studies, and climate resilience assessments.
  • Assist with pump station, channel, culvert, detention basin, and storm drain improvement projects.
  • Prepare technical memoranda, engineering reports, exhibits, and client presentations.
  • Conduct field investigations and coordinate with clients, agencies, and project stakeholders.
  • Support preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimates, and construction documents.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Colorado Professional Engineer (PE) with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and 5+ years of experience in water resources engineering. 
  • Experienced in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling using HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, InfoWorks ICM, XP-SWMM, TUFLOW, and MIKE software. 
  • Proven expertise in 1D/2D hydraulic modeling, model calibration, floodplain mapping, FEMA studies, pump station analysis, and drainage master planning. 
  • Skilled in ArcGIS Pro, geospatial data management, and the application of data-driven solutions for water resources and stormwater projects. 
  • Experience in capital improvement planning and project prioritization.
  • Strong analytical, technical writing, and communication skills with the ability to effectively present complex engineering and modeling results. 
  • Collaborative team player with experience mentoring junior staff, supporting project delivery, and developing high-quality engineering solutions.

A note on hourly pay ranges

The range does not reflect geographic variations and may fluctuate above or below the stated amount. Offers will be based on several factors, including experience, education, skills, licensure, certifications, training, and location. Base pay is just one part of the comprehensive compensation package offered by Wood Rodgers. If you feel you meet the requirements but may be outside of the pay range, please apply anyway and let’s talk through it.
