We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design and delivery of projects involving surface water, drainage, flood risk management and water infrastructure. The role will involve working across multidisciplinary teams to develop practical, sustainable and cost-effective solutions for public and private sector clients. You will contribute to projects from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, approvals, construction support and completion.

Key responsibilities will include undertaking hydrological and hydraulic assessments; preparing drainage strategies, flood risk assessments and water management plans; developing and reviewing technical drawings, specifications, calculations and reports; and using appropriate modelling software to assess drainage networks, rivers, channels, storage systems and flood mitigation measures. You will interpret technical standards, environmental legislation and planning requirements, provide clear advice to clients and stakeholders, and support the preparation of tenders, fee proposals and project programmes. The role may also include site inspections, construction support, technical reviews and coordination with regulatory bodies, contractors and other consultants.

Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline, along with relevant professional experience in water, drainage or flood risk projects. Experience with hydraulic and hydrological modelling packages, computer-aided design, GIS and industry-standard design guidance is desirable. You should be able to communicate technical information clearly, manage priorities and contribute effectively within a collaborative team. A methodical approach, strong problem-solving skills and an understanding of health, safety, environmental and quality requirements are essential. Professional membership or progress towards chartered status would be advantageous, as would experience managing work packages, budgets or junior team members.
