Lead hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and design for roadway drainage systems, including storm drain networks, culverts, inlets, gutter flow, spread analysis, and hydraulic grade line (HGL) evaluations along transportation corridors. Responsibilities Serve as lead engineer or discipline lead for mid- to large-scale water resources and stormwater infrastructure projects. Direct preparation and delivery of construction packages, including design drawings, specifications, cost estimates, alternatives analyses, technical memoranda, and design reports. Plan, schedule, and coordinate detailed phases of engineering projects with a focus on stormwater management systems. Perform and oversee hydrologic and hydraulic analyses specifically for roadway and highway drainage, including culvert sizing, storm drain system design, cross-drainage structures, and floodplain impacts at roadway crossings. Lead conceptual and final design of roadway drainage infrastructure including culverts, storm drain systems, detention facilities, channels, and erosion control measures integrated with roadway profiles and grading plans. Prepare roadway drainage plans, profiles, and details in coordination with roadway design teams using Civil 3D, ensuring compliance with DOT, county, and municipal drainage criteria. Ensure designs incorporate erosion control measures, geosynthetics, and surface and subsurface drainage systems. Provide technical oversight, independent reviews, and approval of engineering analyses and design deliverables. Manage and coordinate multi-disciplinary project teams, including subcontractors, typically consisting of five or more team members. Mentor and provide technical direction to junior engineers and designers. Support client coordination, present design solutions, and contribute to development of project proposals and business growth initiatives.

Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in Arizona or ability to obtain within six months of hire. Master’s in Civil Engineering or related field of study. Experience with DOT or municipal roadway drainage standards, including inlet spacing, gutter flow, spread calculations, and storm drain hydraulic design. Demonstrated expertise in stormwater evaluation and design, including 1D/2D hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. Proficiency with industry-standard modeling software (e.g., Open Roads Design, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SRH-2D). Experience leading design tasks on complex water resources or design-build projects. Strong understanding of stormwater permitting, floodplain management, and regulatory coordination. Experience developing grading, drainage, and roadway plans in coordination with CAD designers (AutoCAD Civil 3D preferred). Proven ability to manage scope, budget, and schedule for complex engineering tasks. Experience preparing technical reports, calculation packages, and construction documentation. Demonstrated technical review and quality control oversight experience. Strong analytical skills with sound application of civil engineering design principles.
