Sr. Water Resource Engineer - Land Development
We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Engineer to lead the planning, design, and delivery of water resources solutions for land development projects. This role will support a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments, working closely with project managers, civil engineers, planners, surveyors, authorities, and clients to deliver practical, compliant, and cost-effective outcomes.
Key responsibilities include preparing and reviewing stormwater management plans, drainage strategies, flood assessments, water quality and erosion control designs, detention and retention systems, open channels, culverts, and other hydraulic infrastructure. You will undertake hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, interpret survey and site information, coordinate technical documentation, and provide engineering advice from feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, approvals, construction, and project close-out. The role will also involve mentoring junior engineers, managing technical deliverables and budgets, contributing to proposals, liaising with regulatory authorities, and ensuring that work is completed to applicable standards, legislation, and project requirements.
Applicants should hold a degree in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in land development and stormwater engineering. Professional registration or eligibility for registration is highly desirable. Strong knowledge of relevant drainage, flood, water quality, and development standards is essential, along with experience using industry modelling and design software such as DRAINS, TUFLOW, MUSIC, HEC-RAS, or comparable platforms. You will be confident communicating with technical and non-technical stakeholders, capable of managing competing priorities, and committed to producing accurate, high-quality work. A proactive approach, sound commercial judgement, and the ability to lead projects and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams will be highly valued.
