Two entry level jobs have been posted in the new Bureau of Watershed Management & Modeling.
Job Title - Engineer I
Location - Palatka, FL, US
Job: IRC15483
This is entry level engineering work applying and developing surface water models for the development of management strategies and engineering projects to protect and enhance water.
Job duties include:
- Works under the supervision of a Professional Engineer or an Engineer Scientist in surface water modeling studies for the development of management strategies to protect and enhance water. Responsibilities include acquiring and analyzing hydrologic and water quality data from District’s database or other sources, maintaining and updating water quantity and quality simulation models, developing data sets for model boundary conditions, setting up model input files, and using ArcGIS to develop the maps and data for model development.
- Performs model simulations using existing surface water models to generate simulation results for water quantity and water quality studies. Evaluates model results from different models and model scenario runs.
- Applies mechanistic hydrology, hydraulic, hydrodynamic, and water quality models to less complex watersheds and surface water bodies. Calibrates models and assesses model calibration through graphical and statistical methods.
- Performs statistical analyses on collected data and simulated results.
- Write technical reports and memos related to model documentation, project proposals, work orders, progress reports, and other related program tasks.
