Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of projects involving water management, flood risk, drainage, hydrology, and hydraulic systems. This role will suit a technically capable professional who enjoys applying engineering principles to practical environmental and infrastructure challenges. You will contribute to projects from initial assessment and feasibility through design, approvals, construction support, and completion, working with multidisciplinary teams and a range of internal and external stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrological and hydraulic assessments, developing drainage and flood risk solutions, undertaking water balance and catchment studies, and producing clear technical reports, calculations, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. You will use industry-standard modelling and design tools to assess existing conditions, test scenarios, and recommend effective solutions. The role may also involve site investigations, asset inspections, data analysis, technical reviews, construction support, and liaison with regulators, contractors, clients, and community representatives. You will be expected to manage assigned tasks, monitor programme and budget requirements, identify risks, and maintain high standards of quality, safety, and environmental performance.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering, or a related discipline, together with relevant professional experience in water resources, hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater, flood risk, or drainage design. Experience with hydraulic and hydrological modelling software, GIS, CAD, and data analysis tools is desirable. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. We are looking for someone who is organised, analytical, collaborative, and committed to continuous professional development. Professional registration or progress toward chartered status would be advantageous. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on varied projects, develop specialist expertise, and contribute to resilient and sustainable water management outcomes.
