ABOUT THE POSITION

Senior Water Resources Engineer | Vermont

Step into a role where your Hydraulics & Hydrology expertise can truly shape the future of New England's rivers, communities, and landscapes—backed by the full support of an award‑winning, multidisciplinary firm.

VHB’s Water Resources group is growing across New England, and we’re looking for a Senior level Engineer who’s ready to lead, innovate, and make a visible impact locally and regionally. If you’re a seasoned water resource engineer who values both the quality of life that Vermont offers and the opportunity to work on complex, high‑profile projects, this is an ideal moment to start a conversation with us.

In this role, you’ll help clients tackle some of the most pressing water resources challenges of our time—driven by climate change, aging infrastructure, and evolving regulatory expectations. You’ll develop strategic, cost‑effective, and forward‑thinking solutions for riverine systems, ecological restoration, and resilient infrastructure. Your work will range from detailed site‑scale designs to watershed‑level planning, with a mix of public and private sector clients that keeps your portfolio diverse and engaging.

You’ll be at the center of projects such as:

Riverine and coastal resiliency planning and design
Bridge hydraulics and scour analysis that directly influence community safety and connectivity
Stream restoration and culvert replacement that restore habitat and improve flood resilience
Dam rehabilitation and removal projects that balance safety, ecology, and community interests
Flood mitigation and floodplain management that help communities adapt to changing conditions

What makes this especially compelling is the blend of autonomy and workload, which provides the satisfaction of working locally—close to the resources, landscapes, and communities you’re helping to protect—but also being involved in the greater regional projects of a recognized New England leader in water resources.

Responsibilities

Supports multi-disciplinary projects including interaction with staff and clients
Conducting hydrologic, hydraulic and scour studies for riverine and coastal environments using current modeling software including HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, HydroCAD and others
Using analysis to identify and design flood, scour and resiliency improvements including both hardened features and nature-based solutions and living shorelines
Performing FEMA “no-rise” analyses and assisting clients with FEMA map revisions
Developing technical reports, design plans, construction documents, and specifications for water resources related projects
Leading the construction administration for water resource projects
Work with VHB’s integrated team to evaluate permit requirements and support the development of permit applications
Aid and support the development of project proposals, scopes of work and fee estimates
Mentoring and expanding the technical resources of our staff

Skills and Abilities

Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
Team-oriented with strong capability to motivate others
Must demonstrate superior ability in collaborative problem solving with stakeholders, clients, and teammates
Experience and interest in mentoring of junior staff
Understanding of local, state, and federal permitting

Qualifications

Minimum 8-11 years’ experience in related water resource engineering and analysis required
BS in Civil/Environmental Engineering (a master’s degree may be substituted for 2 years of experience)
PE license

Our best estimate of the salary range for this position located in Vermont, is $110,000-125,000. The final compensation will be based on a variety of factors such as individual qualifications, education, and experience.
