Water Resources Engineer/Scientist/Modeller

AECOM is seeking a versatile Water Resources Engineer/Scientist/Modeller for our Water Resources Group in British Columbia, Canada.

The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:

• · Apply experience and knowledge to the planning and design of a variety water resources projects including (but not limited to) hydraulic modelling, floodplain mapping, stormwater modeling, flood control projects, site development and flood risk management.
• · Develop and analyze one-dimensional and two-dimensional floodplain modelling using one or more of the following software applications like HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS 2D, InfoWorks, MIKE21, SWMM and PCSWMM.
• · Design of blue and green infrastructure including infiltration, retention and treatment systems such raingardens, bioswales, ponds, water squares, etc.
• · Collaborate with geomorphologists to develop engineered solutions including river crossings, erosion and scour protection.
• · Collaborate with biologists and landscape architects to design nature-based infrastructure like living shorelines, restored wetlands, amphibious public parks, etc.
• · Collaborate with AECOM hydrogeological and mining teams to develop surface/ground water balance.
• · Hydrological assessment inclusive of climate change factoring.
• · Efficiently work with GIS software in support of floodplain modelling and mapping processes.
• · As project needs necessitate, the preparation of high standard project reports, calculations and the development of representative scheme drawings and visual aids.
• · Assist in the development of scopes of work and budgets for water resources projects or for water resources components of larger projects (i.e. multi-disciplinary).
