  Contribute actively to business development by participating in proposal creation and engaging with clients.

  Foster robust client relationships and identify potential business prospects within the water resources space.

  Develop and review design calculations, engineering reports, construction drawings, and technical specifications.

  Collaborate effectively with multiple offices to equitably distribute workloads and optimize resource utilization.

  Represent our firm at industry events, conferences, and seminars, fortifying our reputation and expanding our network.

  We have one current opening. Candidate could sit out of any Olsson location.
