At RES, we’re looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.

RES is seeking a Water Resources Engineer with 1+ years of experience, or equivalent internships, to join our team.

As an Engineer, you’ll work on projects from concept to construction and long-term monitoring, gaining hands-on experience throughout the project life cycle. Our team is driven by the opportunity to make a real impact on communities and ecosystems through adaptive, sustainable engineering practices. This role will require you to be in the office at least three (3) days a week unless you are in the field on a project.

TEAM INTERACTION: You’ll be supported by experienced mentors, and your work will directly contribute to restoring natural habitats, improving water quality, and enhancing resilience to flooding and coastal challenges.
