Hydraulic Modeler

Cannon & Cannon, Inc. (An Ardurra Company) is seeking an experienced Hydraulic Modeler our Knoxville, TN, Nashville, TN and Bowling Green, KY office's. Primary Function The candidate will provide engineering support for hydraulic modeling of water and wastewater systems using industry-standard modeling software. Responsibilities include building, calibrating, and applying hydraulic models to evaluate existing system capacity, simulate operational conditions, and assess proposed system improvements. This role involves translating system data, operational controls, and infrastructure characteristics into accurate and defensible modeling outputs that support planning and design decisions. The position also provides technical leadership in evaluating system performance, identifying capacity constraints, and developing long-term improvement strategies, while ensuring all modeling practices align with industry standards and client objectives. Primary Duties Identify, collect, process, and input hydraulic and infrastructure data required for model development. Utilize tools such as AutoCAD, ArcGIS Pro, Microsoft Excel, SCADA systems, and other data management platforms to support model development and analysis. Execute calibrations of water and/or wastewater models meeting

calibration standards. Coordinate with engineering staff to define and obtain additional field data required for calibration, including unidirectional flushing/hydrant testing and extended pressure monitoring. Troubleshoot model convergence and simulation issues, coordinating with internal and external IT resources as needed. Export and present model results in the form of graphs, tables, GIS shapefiles, and mapping exhibits. Compile technical memoranda and reports documenting model development, calibration, system evaluation, and recommended improvements. Utilize fundamental hydraulic principles independent of modeling software to validate model inputs and results. Lead, assist, or compile necessary documents for kickoff, progress, and close out meetings. Education Requirements BS Civil/Environmental/Mechanical Engineering/Computer Engineering 5-7 years Engineering experience EIT designation is desired Technical Experience Strong background in hydraulic modeling of water and/or wastewater systems Proficiency with Auto
