Water Resources Engineer I
We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer I to support the planning, design, analysis, and delivery of water resources projects. This entry-level role is suited to an engineer who is developing technical expertise in hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater management, flood risk, drainage, or related civil and environmental engineering disciplines. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to projects from initial assessment and concept development through to design, documentation, approval, and construction support.
Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, drainage studies, flood assessments, water balance calculations, and technical reports. You will assist with the design of stormwater infrastructure, channels, culverts, detention and retention systems, water supply or wastewater assets, and other water-related facilities. The role will also involve developing engineering drawings, calculations, models, specifications, cost estimates, and presentation materials; interpreting survey, geotechnical, environmental, and planning information; and using industry-standard software and GIS tools to support project outcomes. You may also participate in site inspections, data collection, construction reviews, stakeholder coordination, and meetings with clients, regulators, contractors, and other project representatives.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a closely related discipline. Strong analytical, technical writing, communication, and organisational skills are essential, along with an understanding of engineering principles, relevant standards, and regulatory requirements. Experience with hydrologic or hydraulic modelling software, CAD, GIS, or spreadsheet-based analysis is desirable. You will be expected to demonstrate attention to detail, a willingness to learn, sound problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to manage priorities while working collaboratively. Eligibility for relevant professional registration, or progress toward registration, will be advantageous. A valid driver’s licence and willingness to attend project sites may also be required.
