Working as an individual or as part of a project team, assignments are expected to include site inspections and field data collection; stream characterization (including fluvial geomorphology analysis and use of the Michigan stream quantification tool [MiSQT]); performing hydrologic assessments and water balances; supporting resource impact analyses and mitigation strategy planning; preparation of design basis documentation; natural stream channel design; surface water control and stormwater management design; preparation of plans and technical specifications; creation of erosion protection plans; construction observation; and reporting. Work will also include supporting project permitting and communicating with clients, permitting agencies, and public officials.

NOTE: Must be able to work in locations that feature rough terrain typical of construction and restoration sites and may also require entering and working within facilities that include limited accessibility, moving machinery, and other conditions typical of industrial facilities.
