Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of projects involving surface water, drainage, flood risk, and water management. This role will suit an engineer who can apply sound technical judgement, communicate clearly with clients and stakeholders, and contribute effectively across multidisciplinary project teams. You will work on projects from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, construction support, and completion.
Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrological and hydraulic assessments, drainage strategies, flood risk assessments, water management plans, and technical reports. You will develop and review engineering calculations, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, while using appropriate modelling and design software to assess water systems and infrastructure. The role will also involve supporting site investigations, interpreting survey and environmental data, coordinating with other technical disciplines, and providing advice to clients, contractors, regulators, and project partners. You may also contribute to project programming, fee proposals, quality assurance, risk management, and the mentoring of less experienced colleagues.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering, or a related discipline, with relevant professional experience in water resources or drainage. Experience with hydrological and hydraulic modelling tools, such as industry-standard drainage or flood modelling packages, is desirable. You should have a practical understanding of relevant regulations, technical standards, and environmental considerations, together with strong written and verbal communication skills. The ability to manage competing priorities, work independently, and deliver accurate work to deadlines is essential. Professional registration or progress towards professional registration would be advantageous.
