Key Responsibilities Key responsibilities for this position will typically be performed as directed by and under the supervision of a senior team member until the selected candidate gains sufficient experience to perform the tasks independently.  Tasks include: Collect data at project sites, including being a member of a survey party performing topographic surveys. Analyze basin hydrology and stream hydraulics. Design specific elements of bank protection, instream grade control, fish passage structures at roadway crossings, side channels, dike breaches and large woody material habitat structures.
