Rti international’s center for water resources (cwr) provides hydrologic and hydraulic modeling services, decision support applications development, data management and analysis system design, and environmental engineering support to government agencies, private companies, and international clientsWe execute many dam risk, water supply, and water forecast system related projects in the us, as well as international development projects, particularly in africa, asia, and latin america.
We have an immediate opportunity for a water resources engineer with a gis and technical modeling focusThis position will be based in rtp, north carolina or fort collins, co but telecommuting is possible as well.
If you have good interpersonal skills, like supporting client objectives, work effectively and have interest in gis, hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, and a desire to grow technical skills, then you would be a good candidate to join our young and dynamic teamRti provides a diverse and innovative work culture with an excellent work life balance, great benefits, and continued growth opportunities.
You will assist rti project teams in implementing hydrologic, hydraulic, reservoir operations, watershed, and consequences models, and use gis processing to support model development.
Please apply if you have expertise related to these requirements (experience related to all is not necessary) - we will provide specific model training to motivated colleagues with the appropriate background and aptitude.

Placing hydraulic model geometry components in complex terrain
Working with gis datasets and gis processing to support hydrologic and hydraulic analysis
Troubleshooting and developing solutions given data limitations and complex modeling scenarios that may involve interaction between hydrologic, hydraulic and reservoir models
Development and calibration of local and regional hydrologic and hydraulic models in large riverine systems controlled under multiple, competing objectives, such as hec-hms, riverware, or similar
Reservoir modeling including developing operational rules and outlet rating curves for large dams
Developing large scale consequences models using hec-lifesim
Programming or scripting in support of gis and data processing and analytics
Your spanish language skills and some expertise with water quality modeling will be a plus!
