Students,

We are recruiting for two positions to join our modeling team. Much of our modeling is sewer/conveyance related, but we are also looking for people with skills in 3-D water quality modeling, CFD, and wastewater process modeling.  The Journey-level position requires an Engineer-in-Training certification, the entry level does not.
