Surface Water Engineer
We are seeking a skilled Surface Water Engineer to support the planning, design and delivery of sustainable drainage and flood risk management solutions. This role will involve working on a diverse range of infrastructure, development and environmental projects, providing technical advice from early feasibility through to detailed design, construction and completion. You will contribute to solutions that manage surface water effectively, improve resilience and support positive environmental outcomes.
Key responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing surface water strategies, drainage assessments, hydraulic models, flood risk assessments and technical reports. You will develop drainage designs in accordance with relevant legislation, standards and best practice, including sustainable drainage systems, attenuation, conveyance, infiltration and water quality measures. The role will also involve interpreting survey and site information, undertaking calculations, assessing existing drainage networks and identifying practical solutions to technical challenges. You may be required to coordinate with clients, local authorities, planning professionals, contractors and other engineering disciplines, as well as support applications, approvals, inspections and construction-stage queries.
The successful candidate will have relevant experience in surface water, drainage, flood risk or civil engineering, supported by a suitable degree or equivalent professional qualification. Proficiency with hydraulic modelling and design software, such as MicroDrainage, InfoDrainage, Civil 3D, AutoCAD or similar, would be advantageous. You should have a sound understanding of drainage regulations, planning requirements and sustainable water management principles, together with strong analytical, report-writing and communication skills. The ability to manage competing priorities, work collaboratively and present technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences is essential. Professional registration, or a willingness to work towards it, would be welcomed.
