  • Lead or support proposals, statements of qualifications, scopes of work, fee estimates, presentations, and interviews.
  • Participate in client meetings, industry events, and business-development activities.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers.
  • Perform other incidental and related duties as required.

Business Development & Client Management

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective clients.
  • Identify, pursue, and secure new water resources opportunities within targeted markets.
  • Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients on stormwater, flooding, drainage, watershed, and resilience issues.
  • Develop and maintain a strong understanding of client needs, upcoming capital programs, regulatory drivers, and market opportunities.
  • Lead or support client meetings, presentations, interviews, and industry events.
  • Develop capture strategies and pursuit plans for strategic opportunities.
  • Lead or support preparation of proposals, statements of qualifications, scopes of work, and fee estimates.
  • Establish and expand relationships with municipal, state, federal, and transportation agencies.
  • Collaborate with STV's regional and national technical teams to identify opportunities and bring the appropriate resources to clients.
  • Help grow STV's water resources practice through strategic client development and market expansion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
