That wraps up this week’s job rundown. Keep your eyes peeled for those that match your skills, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any more info. Good luck with your applications!

Adding the exact state stuff to my resume — ‘TxDOT Hydraulics Design Manual, HEC‑RAS 2D, HY‑8,’ and the CSJ for each project — noticeably boosted TX callbacks; similar for VDOT with its Drainage Manual and OpenRoads, but many “remote” posts still expect field visits — anyone fully remote there?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​⁠‌⁠​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‌‌⁠‍​‌‍‍⁠​⁠​‌‌​‍‌‌‍⁠‍‌‍​⁠‌​‌⁠‌‍⁠‍​⁠‌⁠‌​⁠⁠‌‌‍‍‌⁠‌⁠​⁠‍​‌‌​​‌​⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Quick example: I started adding TxDOT precert categories (10.2.1/10.3.1) and exact software versions per project (OpenRoads Drainage 2023, SRH‑2D), and callbacks jumped. Small caveat: don’t acronym‑dump — treat it like a model run and show inputs with an output like “reduced overtopping 0.4 ft.” For remote leads, filtering “hydraulics” RFQs on Bonfire helps; TxDOT precert info: https://www.txdot.gov/business/consultants/consultant-precertification.html.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​⁠‌⁠​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌⁠​‍‌⁠‍‍‌‌‌⁠‌‍⁠​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‍‍​⁠​​‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍‍​‌​‍​‌​​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I got more bites by naming the deliverables and permits I’ve handled — like “Bridge Hydraulics Report, scour memo, H&H for LOMR/CLOMR” — and linking a one-page PDF with before/after floodplain maps; recruiters like a quick visual, like a movie trailer for your models. Small caveat: scrub client data and note the rainfall basis used (“NOAA Atlas 14” vs local IDF), or it can backfire; @agreen your point about specificity tracks.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​⁠‌⁠​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌​​‍​⁠​​‌​​‌‌‍⁠‌‌​⁠‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‍‌‌​⁠‍‌⁠‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌⁠‍‍‌‌​‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I got more traction when I called out the review portals and submittal cadence I’ve used — ProjectWise/eBuilder with 30/60/90% H&H — and even the survey basis (NAD83/NAVD88); @agreen that specificity shows you can plug in on day one, but don’t list a portal you haven’t used.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‌​⁠‌⁠​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‍‌​⁠⁠‌‍‍​‌​⁠⁠‌‍‌‍‌​‍‍​⁠‌‍‌‍​⁠‌⁠‌‍​⁠‍​‌​‌‍‌​‌​‌‍⁠⁠‌‌​‌‌⁠‌‌‌​⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​
