If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.

We’re looking for an experienced Water Resources Engineer to help us deliver stream, wetland, and stormwater restoration projects from concept through construction across Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. This is a technical leadership role, remotely based —ideal for a licensed engineer with advanced design skills, modeling proficiency, and the ability to work across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure high-quality project delivery. You’ll be based out of one of our regional offices or design hubs, or working remotely, working closely with engineers, scientists, and project managers across disciplines. You’ll spend most of your time on technical design and coordination, with occasional travel for site assessments, field data collection, construction oversight, and agency meetings. See some of the projects our engineers work on here.

This position can be sitting in any of our Central offices, or if located remotely, occasional travel to project sites in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, and office events in Houston TX and/or Lafayette LA can be expected. 

Why You’ll Love This Job

  • You’ll apply advanced design skills to projects that make a lasting environmental impact

  • You’ll contribute directly to permittable, buildable, field-tested solutions

  • You’ll work with a talented, collaborative team who values science, innovation, and restoration

  • You’ll have opportunities to mentor junior engineers and lead technical delivery

  • You’ll engage with regulators and clients to help shape successful outcomes
