Stream and Wetland Engineer / Designer
RES is currently accepting applications for a Stream and Wetland Engineer / Designer with 3+ years of experience in its Sacramento, CA office. Work associated with this position will occur throughout California.
The mission: to support a growing, multi-disciplinary team of ecosystem restoration designers and engineers currently working on some of the nation’s largest rivers, streams, and wetland restoration projects! We take pride in the work that we do, and we make appropriate decisions to produce a well-performing project, so we are looking for a SUSTAINABILITY ENTHUSIAST and an EFFECTIVE TEAM PLAYER, capable of contributing to this process.
What your day-to-day might look like?
30% of your time, you will be in the field, performing geomorphic, biological, and ecological site assessments, performing fluvial geomorphic surveys, providing construction oversite for restoration projects, and assisting in site monitoring.
35% of the time, you will be supporting the team in data processing and issuing some pieces of technical writing. The team will need support with mitigation crediting calculations, restoration design process documentation, written portions of proposals, regulatory permit applications, and post-construction monitoring reports. Be ready to showcase your communication skills during the interview.
35% of your time, you will be designing. The team will need support on hydrologic and geomorphic parameter selection and design leading into a 3-dimensional design within the Autodesk Civil 3D environment.
