WSP in the U.S.
Overview
Lead Consultant, Water Resources Engineering at WSP in the U.S. This role provides high level technical assistance and guidance for multi-site/phase water resources engineering work processes, due diligence, investigation, remediation, impact assessment, and environmental permitting projects. The scope includes design and development of processes, infrastructure, and operating strategies related to water supply, stormwater facilities, irrigation facilities, culverts, hydrology, open channel hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, floodplain modeling/mapping, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, river/stream/habitat restoration and fish passage, pollution control and treatment, and preserving water resource quality. Your impact includes substantiating reports to advise on field conditions, movement, and risks to ecological and human health, and assisting project leadership with environmental site assessment, corrective strategies, material classifications, infrastructure development, and recommendations to protect water resources. Responsibilities emphasize delivering high-quality results that meet or exceed industry standards. Responsibilities
Provide guidance with data collection efforts for samples of water, sludge, and other matrices for projects, investigations, and surveys. Perform high-level professional water resources engineering work and conduct investigations, analysis, and inspections related to water supply/quality/management, stormwater facilities, irrigation facilities, culverts, hydrology, open channel hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, floodplain modeling/mapping, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, canal development, river/stream restoration and fish passage, waste disposal, and pollution control. Ensure planning and management of water supply is safe for recreational, commercial, and industrial uses. Develop advanced technologies, monitoring devices, modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to reduce pollutants and environmental impact, enabling greater use of water resources. Oversee cross-functional teams to execute mid-level projects including budgets, hours/expenses tracking, task completion, permit applications, compliance documentation, and technical memos. Coordinate, review, and approve infrastructure design plans ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance. Conduct environmental site assessments (Phase I and II). Prepare data visualizations, tables, charts, reports, models, and other illustrations for interpretation and presentation of findings. Prepare comprehensive technical reports and presentations with findings and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, or address environmental issues. Analyze environmental data to develop action plans for moderate- to high-level threat mitigation. Perform concept-level design of treatment works and analyze hydrologic and hydraulic models for stormwater, watershed master planning, stream restoration, and water quality studies. Design water purification methods and facilities such as bioretentions, green roofs, permeable pavements, stormwater ponds, and other treatment devices. Prepare watershed studies, floodplain studies, and evaluate regulated impoundment structures for regulatory compliance. Prepare and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs). Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients professionally. Develop action plans for mid to large-scale pollution, corrosion, hazardous waste, and environmental control programs. Collaborate with professionals from multiple disciplines to provide future-ready solutions for clients. Remain current in latest water resources engineering techniques and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and policies. Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs. Qualifications
Required Qualifications Bachelor’s Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering, with a focus in Water Resources or related discipline. 7 to 10 years of relevant post-education experience in water resources engineering. Engineer license required. Proficient knowledge of water resource engineering principles, practices, design/build, and environmental permitting and project work-related issues. Strong knowledge of Stormwater Management, Drainage, Erosion and Sediment Control, Hydrology & Hydraulics Design, Watershed Studies, Floodplain Delineation. Ability to coordinate with agency regulators and understand requirements. Knowledge of reducing or eliminating hazardous substances and associated mitigation programs. Knowledge of relevant environmental laws, regulations, compliance practices, and record-keeping requirements. Strong technical writing, analytical, and computational abilities with engineering plans, specifications, and regulatory references. Experience in Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments per ASTM guidelines and preparing permit applications for agencies. Ability to plan and conduct inspections and investigations of facilities or structures under applicable regulations. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with engineering and non-engineering audiences. Self-leadership, attention to detail, multitasking, and prioritization in a dynamic environment. Ability to work independently and lead junior team members with QA/QC discipline. Proficiency with technical writing, software, modeling tools, spreadsheets, and related technology. Adept at coordinating technical matters with public and private groups. Experience with surface water analysis, TR-55, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, HEC-RAS-2D, HEC-GeoRAS, SRH-2D, ESRI ArcGIS, FEMA flood studies, and related modeling. Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to apply data to actionable outcomes. Proven ability to coordinate and direct subcontractors and others to complete tasks safely and efficiently. Commitment to workplace safety and compliance with WSP health, safety, drug/alcohol, and harassment policies. Ability to travel occasionally as project needs require. Preferred Qualifications Master’s Degree in Engineering. 40-Hour OSHA Health & Safety Training (HAZWOPER) preferred. Basic First Aid and Adult CPR training desired. Compensation
