The Shorelands & Environmental Assistance (SEA) program within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Coastal Engineer (Environmental Engineer 2 or 3) position. This Coastal Engineer position offers a unique opportunity to join Washington State’s Applied Coastal Research and Engineering Section (ACRE). ACRE is a dynamic and collaborative team whose work centers on providing a scientific basis for decision making in support of shoreline planning, coastal management, engineering design, and project implementation along Washington’s marine shorelines. In this role, you will address a wide variety of key issues regarding coastal community and ecosystem resilience, including chronic coastal erosion and flood hazards, climate change impacts on coastal hazards, shoreline and bluff retreat, natural and nature-based multi-benefit coastal projects, process-based restoration projects, and the application of morphodynamic approaches to nearshore habitat and ecosystem services studies.
Ecology’s ACRE team performs state of the art research to better understand physical changes along Washington’s beaches, bluffs, and nearshore zones to enhance their management, protection, and restoration while reducing coastal hazards and increasing community resilience. You will work on interesting and challenging coastal problems, develop and co-produce innovative solutions – including natural and nature-based features – with coastal communities and tribes, and provide engineering guidance for their designs.
In this role, you will apply and further develop knowledge and skills through collaborative work with a range of partners (e.g., Tribes, state and federal agencies, local governments, academics) at the interface of coastal research, science, engineering, and management. Duties will span applied coastal research, innovative engineering design and evaluation, consulting services, technical guidance, training, permit and project review, and publication. Work will enhance coastal community resilience and protect and restore Washington’s coastal natural resources.
What you will do:
Plan, conduct, and coordinate coastal monitoring, modeling, and research to advance our understanding of coastal processes, mixed sand-gravel and composite beach dynamics, bluff erosion, sediment transport, and the impacts of sea-level rise and climate change on coastal systems.
Evaluate the effectiveness, performance, and impacts of a range of existing and planned adaptation measures including conventional coastal structures, innovative natural and nature-based alternatives, hybrid approaches, and process-based restoration projects.
Conduct geo-coastal processes analysis and site assessment to evaluate coastal and geologic hazards, potential impacts, and mitigation strategies along Washington’s high energy ocean coast as well as the sheltered shorelines of coastal estuaries and the Salish Sea.
Develop and test natural and nature-based alternatives to conventional coastal structures and incorporate results into engineering design guidelines and best practices.
Provide coastal engineering consulting services, design review, recommendations, and technical assistance to Tribes, local governments, and a range of other partners for natural and nature-based approaches, slope stabilization, shoreline restoration, beach nourishment, and beach access projects to address changing coastal conditions and environmental impacts.
Write, review, and evaluate proposals, scientific documents, and technical guidance in support of shoreline planning, permitting, and other resource management activities.
Communicate Washington State’s Applied Coastal Research and Engineering team’s work, through presentations and written documents, to a range of local partners as well as the Coastal Engineering professional community.
Develop and conduct training on coastal processes and coastal project design for professional audiences, such as local governments, coastal resource managers, developers, and engineers, and contribute to the Washington Coastal Hazards Resilience Network .

Duties
The Shorelands & Environmental Assistance (SEA) program within the Department of Ecology is looking to fill a Coastal Engineer (Environmental Engineer 2 or 3) position. This Coastal Engineer position offers a unique opportunity to join Washington State’s Applied Coastal Research and Engineering Section (ACRE). ACRE is a dynamic and collaborative team whose work centers on providing a scientific basis for decision making in support of shoreline planning, coastal management, engineering design, and project implementation along Washington’s marine shorelines. In this role, you will address a wide variety of key issues regarding coastal community and ecosystem resilience, including chronic coastal erosion and flood hazards, climate change impacts on coastal hazards, shoreline and bluff retreat, natural and nature-based multi-benefit coastal projects, process-based restoration projects, and the application of morphodynamic approaches to nearshore habitat and ecosystem services studies.
Ecology’s ACRE team performs state of the art research to better understand physical changes along Washington’s beaches, bluffs, and nearshore zones to enhance their management, protection, and restoration while reducing coastal hazards and increasing community resilience. You will work on interesting and challenging coastal problems, develop and co-produce innovative solutions – including natural and nature-based features – with coastal communities and tribes, and provide engineering guidance for their designs.
In this role, you will apply and further develop knowledge and skills through collaborative work with a range of partners (e.g., Tribes, state and federal agencies, local governments, academics) at the interface of coastal research, science, engineering, and management. Duties will span applied coastal research, innovative engineering design and evaluation, consulting services, technical guidance, training, permit and project review, and publication. Work will enhance coastal community resilience and protect and restore Washington’s coastal natural resources.
What you will do:
Plan, conduct, and coordinate coastal monitoring, modeling, and research to advance our understanding of coastal processes, mixed sand-gravel and composite beach dynamics, bluff erosion, sediment transport, and the impacts of sea-level rise and climate change on coastal systems.
Evaluate the effectiveness, performance, and impacts of a range of existing and planned adaptation measures including conventional coastal structures, innovative natural and nature-based alternatives, hybrid approaches, and process-based restoration projects.
Conduct geo-coastal processes analysis and site assessment to evaluate coastal and geologic hazards, potential impacts, and mitigation strategies along Washington’s high energy ocean coast as well as the sheltered shorelines of coastal estuaries and the Salish Sea.
Develop and test natural and nature-based alternatives to conventional coastal structures and incorporate results into engineering design guidelines and best practices.
Provide coastal engineering consulting services, design review, recommendations, and technical assistance to Tribes, local governments, and a range of other partners for natural and nature-based approaches, slope stabilization, shoreline restoration, beach nourishment, and beach access projects to address changing coastal conditions and environmental impacts.
Write, review, and evaluate proposals, scientific documents, and technical guidance in support of shoreline planning, permitting, and other resource management activities.
Communicate Washington State’s Applied Coastal Research and Engineering team’s work, through presentations and written documents, to a range of local partners as well as the Coastal Engineering professional community.
Develop and conduct training on coastal processes and coastal project design for professional audiences, such as local governments, coastal resource managers, developers, and engineers, and contribute to the Washington Coastal Hazards Resilience Network .

Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
