We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, assessment and delivery of water-related infrastructure and environmental projects. The successful candidate will contribute to projects involving hydrology, hydraulics, drainage, flood risk management, stormwater, water supply and related civil engineering services. This role offers the opportunity to work with multidisciplinary teams, clients, contractors and regulatory stakeholders from project inception through to completion.

Responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing hydrological and hydraulic assessments, flood studies, drainage strategies, water management plans and technical reports. You will develop engineering calculations, models, drawings, specifications and cost estimates, while helping to assess options and recommend practical, sustainable solutions. The role will also involve interpreting technical data, conducting site investigations, supporting approvals and permitting processes, monitoring project schedules and budgets, and providing technical guidance to colleagues and project partners. You may also assist with site inspections, construction support, asset assessments and the resolution of technical issues during project delivery.

Applicants should hold a degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering or a related discipline, with relevant professional experience in water, drainage, flood risk or hydraulic engineering. Experience using industry-standard modelling and design software, GIS platforms and engineering analysis tools is highly desirable. You will need strong technical writing, analytical and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. Familiarity with relevant legislation, design standards, environmental considerations and health and safety requirements is expected. Professional registration, chartered status or progress towards professional accreditation would be advantageous. We are looking for a collaborative, organised and adaptable engineer who can manage competing priorities, work independently when required and deliver high-quality outcomes to agreed deadlines.
