Job Type: Full-time

Our story began in 2005 when RJH’s founders set out to create a design firm with a core mission: to provide our clients with dam and levee engineering expertise typically associated with a large firm, but with a philosophy of client service more commonly associated with a small firm. Since then, we have continued that mission and have become a leader in delivering premier dam and levee projects. Today, RJH has grown to over 35 employees and has successfully delivered hundreds of projects throughout the United States.
