Job Description

At KLH Engineers, our team of engineers, surveyors, and drafters, works on projects that ensure safe drinking water gets where it needs to go, wastewater is properly treated, and stormwater stays under control. Since 1982, we’ve partnered with numerous municipal clients across Pennsylvania, delivering top-notch services in water, wastewater, stormwater, and general municipal engineering. We bring creativity, technical excellence, and practicality to every project, ensuring our engineering solutions not only work but also make life a little easier for everyone.

We’re currently looking for a Senior Water Resources Engineer to join our growing team in our Pittsburgh office. If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, developing practical stormwater solutions, and collaborating with a team that values technical excellence and real-world problem-solving, you’ll fit right in. What You’ll Do:

• Responsible for all KLH water resource modeling, including water, stormwater management, stream modeling, storm, sanitary, and combined sewers, and other civil engineering hydraulic/hydrologic modeling applications.
• Apply advanced knowledge of open channel hydraulics, fluid mechanics, hydrology, and stormwater management to solve complex water resource problems.
• Manage and analyze large datasets using statistical analysis, coding, and computational tools to develop data-driven solutions.
• Develop and utilize hydraulic/hydrologic models, including SWMM and HEC-RAS, to evaluate systems and design scenarios.
• Use GIS and other technology to analyze spatial and environmental data and improve modeling capabilities.
• Work with project engineers and managers to validate results and apply engineering judgment to real-world projects.
• Develop innovative, data driven solutions for complex infrastructure challenges. 
• Participate in strategic planning efforts that shape infrastructure investments for decades into the future. 

What You’ll Need:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Water Resources, or a related field preferred. B.S. considered with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong foundation in hydraulics, fluid mechanics, hydrology, and stormwater management.
• Experience with SWMM, HEC-RAS, GIS, statistical analysis, and data processing/coding.
• Highly analytical with strong computer skills and the ability to efficiently manage large, complex datasets.
• Comfortable tackling complex theoretical and technical problems and learning new tools quickly.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with project engineers and managers.

Why KLH?

• Outstanding benefits, including but not limited to 3 weeks PTO starting immediately (adjusted based on experience), 9 paid holidays, 401(k) with 3% safe harbor, generous medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Support for your personal development, including professional development support, continuing education opportunities, and an office fitness center. 
• We’ll give you the space to do what you do best—be an engineer. You won’t be expected to act as a salesperson, and we’re not hung up on accounting metrics or KPIs.
• We’re big enough to tackle complex, high-impact projects in-house, but small enough that your ideas won’t get lost in the shuffle.
• You’ll work alongside a smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team.
• We offer a flexible work schedule. 
• You’ll have the opportunity to see projects from concept to construction and start-up, and won’t be pigeonholed into doing the same task day after day.
• We believe in investing in our people through mentorship, continued learning, and opportunities for growth.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and join our top-notch team, one that values your contributions, supports your growth, and offers meaningful project work, we’d love to hear from you.
