About the opportunity

SWCA Environmental Consulting & Engineering is seeking an Assistant Staff Water Resources Engineer with an interest in hydrology, hydraulics, flood modeling, and water resources engineering. We are looking for a recent or soon-to-be college graduate with a degree in civil, environmental, biological, or coastal engineering who is eager to learn and contribute to flood modeling, watershed planning, and water resources projects.
