Quality Control: Implement quality control procedures to ensure all project deliverables meet the firm’s standards and client expectations.

Proposal Development: Assist in the preparation of proposals, including technical scopes of work, cost estimates, and schedules for new business opportunities.

Field Work and Site Visits: Conduct field investigations, site assessments, and construction oversight as required, ensuring project work is carried out according to design specifications.

Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Coastal, Ocean Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree or higher is preferred.

Licensure: Professional Engineer (PE) license required in one or more states along the Gulf Coast, with the ability to obtain licensure in relevant states if not already held.

Experience: Minimum of 8 years of experience in coastal engineering, with demonstrated expertise in project design and implementation within the Gulf Coast or similar environments.

Technical Skills: Proficiency in coastal engineering software and tools (e.g., Delft3D, ADCIRC, SWAN), as well as GIS applications for coastal analysis.

Communication Skills: Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex technical information to clients, stakeholders, and team members.

Problem-Solving: Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop innovative solutions to complex coastal challenges.
