Our Water Team has an opportunity for a Water Resources Engineering Graduate (based in Ottawa) who has a passion for hydrology and hydraulics, including the assessment and design of drainage and stormwater management (SWM) infrastructure, and protection of receiving watercourses. We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated, detail-oriented team player who is excited about expanding their knowledge on water resources projects with a focus on hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, report writing, field work, and design. The qualified candidate will assist intermediate / senior engineers and project leaders by performing tasks that include fieldwork, calculations, modelling, data analysis, reporting, designs, drawings, and other engineering assignments, all in a friendly, fast-paced work environment. If you are interested in helping to deliver water resources projects, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a highly regarded team of water resources engineers, hydrologic / hydraulic modelers, and designers.
Your Key Responsibilities
As the successful candidate, you will use your technical abilities to assist with and complete water resources component(s) of a wide variety of projects in a dynamic design team setting. You will report directly to the Team Lead. Responsibilities include:
- Provide support on simple and complex studies, modelling and design tasks on a wide variety of water resources infrastructure projects, from planning and conceptual design through preliminary / detailed design, construction, and operational support.
- Projects will include master drainage plans, floodplain delineation, highway drainage design, erosion studies, drainage/SWM infrastructure design, and stormwater retrofit flood studies.
- Collaborate with both intermediate and senior engineers and hydrologic/hydraulic modelers and project leaders to ensure that the projects’ needs are met, and priorities are understood.
- Assist with hydrologic / hydraulic modeling of stormwater runoff and floodplains, assessment and design of SWM controls, flood mitigation measures, culverts and storm sewers, road/highway drainage, and low impact development (LID) measures
- Participate in multi-disciplinary projects related to water, transportation, environmental, and community development projects.
- Undertake field investigations to confirm existing SWM infrastructure and drainage patterns.
- Interpret and communicate model results in technical reports, design briefs and presentations.
- Assist with preparation of stormwater master plans and design briefs and technical reports.
- Assist with preparation of conceptual and detailed design drawings using CAD tools.
- Attend internal/external client meetings and document the meetings with minutes.

- Basic experience analyzing and managing data, interpreting hydraulic model results and producing clear visuals to demonstrate results.
- Basic experience with floodplain analysis and erosion protection measures.
- Familiarity with natural channel design and fluvial geomorphology.
- Knowledge of Ontario’s stormwater guidelines and regulations and familiarity with linear infrastructure design is considered an asset.
- Ability to prioritize multiple tasks, responsibilities and projects and adjust to changing demands.
- Ability to produce robust technical writing pieces (e.g. reports or proposals).
