• Assist with engineering review of permit applications, engineering design plans and specifications, standby plans and engineering contracts, integrated waste management plans, and periodic construction inspections, to ensure that they comply with applicable state and/or federal regulations and sound engineering practice and standards.

• Perform concept level design of treatment works and analyze hydrologic and hydraulic models and computations for storm water and watershed master planning, stream restoration, and water quality studies.

• Design water purification methods through desalination or creating new equipment for contaminant transport when water is used for irrigation purposes.

• Design a variety of facilities, such as bioretentions, green roofs, permeable pavements, stormwater ponds, manufactured treatment devices, and underground detention facilities.

• Prepare watershed studies, floodplain studies, and evaluate regulated impoundment structures for compliance with regulations.

• Meet with various public or private entities or individuals to discuss issues relating to a variety of environmental problems and programs.

• Ensure technical reports and presentations explain research, findings, and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, clean-up, or address environmental issues or problems.

• Develop action plans for larger-scale pollution, corrosion, hazardous waste, and environmental control program
