Lead full-cycle civil/water resources design projects from concept through construction bid, prepare PS&E, specifications and cost estimates, mentor junior engineers, manage schedules and budgets, produce proposals, perform hydrologic/hydraulic analyses, and create construction documents using AutoCAD/Civil 3D (MicroStation a plus). Communicate technical findings clearly to clients and the public.
What it’s like to work with us:
Craftwater is different. We empower and expect staff to create usable, actionable information through collaborative and innovative approaches that reflect their passion to impart much-needed environmental changes through engineering and science. We offer a flex work environment that combines remote and in-office time. California casual is our dress code of choice, unless we are headed to a client meeting or presentation. We take ourselves lightly, and our work seriously and cultivate a culture based around the desire to do things differently and better in every job we take on. Each of us has our own quirks, and we think we’re pretty hilarious. We genuinely like each other, and make time for “play,” and teambuilding, and try to push each other to find the next best approach to delivering the most well-founded and useful information to our clients in new and exciting ways. We are doing new big things and having an incredible time doing it.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
