Position Summary

A career-minded Water/Wastewater Hydraulic Modeler, looking towards advancement, is needed to join JMT’s fast-growing Water/Wastewater consultant engineering practice. The selected employee will be responsible for leading engineering tasks and projects in the municipal water and wastewater utility space, with a primary focus on hydraulic modeling of sanitary sewer collection systems and potable water distribution systems.

This position is not a general water resources modeling role. The ideal candidate’s experience is centered on water and wastewater conveyance systems for municipal utilities. Candidates whose background is primarily in floodplain/coastal modeling, dam safety, FEMA mapping, or nuclear power plant flood hazard studies without substantial sanitary sewer and potable water distribution modeling experience will not be a fit for this role.

The selected candidate will be responsible for working knowledge of applicable design criteria, regulatory requirements, standards and processes; managing multiple projects; managing preparation and updating of project schedules; developing, analyzing and documenting critical model elements; and coordinating the efforts of a modeling team to determine requirements and incorporate feedback. The selected candidate will become part of an established team of engineers working on sanitary sewer collection system and potable water distribution system hydraulic modeling projects in the Mid-Atlantic.

Employees are expected to provide quality engineering evaluation and design services efficiently to support the project team’s objective and provide customer satisfaction on all projects, delivering projects of high quality on schedule and within budget.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

• Support the overall Project Manager by executing project management responsibilities for hydraulic modeling assignments, including developing hours estimates, scope, and schedules.

• Provide design status updates to the Project Manager.

• Complete hydraulic modeling projects using advanced discipline knowledge, client specifications and guidelines, using required modeling software and GIS tools.

• Create, update, and calibrate hydraulic models of sanitary sewer collection systems and potable water distribution systems; stormwater conveyance modeling experience is a plus but not the primary focus.

• Execute activities on projects for master planning and modeling of water/wastewater conveyance systems, including capacity assessments, rehabilitation planning, and capital improvement planning.

• Assess and identify collection/distribution system performance deficiencies, predict future issues, and develop solutions for planning and design projects.

• Prepare calculations, hydraulic models and other technical deliverables for utility conveyance and infrastructure-related projects.

• Track the budgets of modeling task(s).

• Execute quality control and quality assurance plans as provided by the PMP for the project.

• Perform technical and quality control review of study, planning and design documents.

• Delegate project tasks to project team members.

• Coach and mentor design staff through the hydraulic modeling process.

• Provide consultative services to the client(s), including attending client meetings, providing timely updates, and developing appropriate solutions to meet their expectations.

• Collaborate with and manage project sub-consultants and other internal disciplines.

• Develop extra work order requests and open-end contract task proposals.

• Perform alternative studies, evaluate impacts, and develop and finalize reports for the client.

• Plan, schedule, conduct or coordinate detailed phases of the engineering work in a part of a major project or in a total project of moderate scope.

• Perform or check design computations.

• Prepare and compile contract plans, specifications and estimates.

• Coordinate with internal team members to ensure alignment and project completion by the defined deadline and established quality.

• Provide technical oversight and guidance/support of Design Engineers within the department.

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program.

• 8–10+ years of experience in water/wastewater conveyance or closely related hydraulic modeling work.

• Proficient with hydraulic modeling, transient analyses, data management, and related software packages such as InfoWorks, WaterGEMS, XPSWMM, PCSWMM, KY Pipe, EPA-SWMM, or similar tools used for water/wastewater conveyance systems.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Presentation skills.

• Familiarity with hydraulic designs, sewer rehabilitation, water and sewer design, engineering economics, and engineering report writing.

Preferred Experience

• Experience working with local clients at the county and state level in the Mid-Atlantic region.
