Job description

Arcadis is seeking a Stormwater/Stream Restoration Engineer to join their Resilience Water Team in Virginia or Washington DC.

  • Possession of either an EIT or PE license.
  • Strong experience delivering stream restoration projects, including field assessments, design, permitting, and construction support.
  • Proficiency with tools such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, and HEC-HMS.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate, plan, design, permit, and manage stream restoration and watershed improvement projects.
  • Lead tasks and support project delivery from concept through construction.
  • Perform and coordinate field assessments, data collection, and analysis for stream restoration projects.
  • Develop and support stream restoration design plans, including grading and stabilization measures.
  • Prepare and review hydrologic and hydraulic models and support floodplain and channel stability analyses.
  • Lead task-level project delivery, including developing scopes of work and managing budgets and schedules.
  • Coordinate with regulatory agencies and support permitting efforts.
  • Prepare reports, design documents, presentations, and other deliverables.
  • Mentor and support the development of junior engineers and technical staff.
