Geotechnical Engineer EIT

Many of the world's top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view water a bit differently-as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. We deliver sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. By 2025 we are hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.
