  • Develop HEC-RAS 1D/2D models for channels, floodplains, and structures
  • Prepare profiles, inundation maps, and mitigation concepts
  • Conduct pre/post development stormwater analysis (detention, retention, conveyance)
  • Produce sealed calculations, plans, and design reports

Stormwater & Water Quality

  • Develop / QA PCSWMM / EPA SWMM collection system models (separate & combined systems)
  • Represent LID/GI and simulate continuous system performance
  • Support MS4/NPDES complianceSWMP elements
  • Perform TMDL/WLA evaluations and BMP screening/selection
  • Apply EFDC/EFDC+ (or equivalents) for watershed/receiving-water assessments

CFD & Hydraulic Structures

  • Conduct CFD studies using OpenFOAM or Ansys Fluent/CFX
  • Analyze spillways, stilling basins, dropshafts, outfalls, junctions, and energy dissipation
  • Validate CFD models with HEC-RAS or physical data

Design, Documentation & Permitting

  • Prepare stormwater management plans, drainage reports, erosion & sediment control plans
  • Produce opinions of probable cost, bid documents, specifications
  • Coordinate FEMA floodplain (CLOMR/LOMR) studies
  • Collaborate across Civil 3D, GIS, geotechnical, survey, environmental, and construction teams

Project Management & Leadership

  • Act as day-to-day technical lead
  • Develop scopes, budgets, schedules, risk registers
