Senior Water Resources Engineer

Reference: gvcroyn3mxdkqut1vtf4

We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Engineer to lead the delivery of complex water, drainage, flood risk and infrastructure projects. This role will provide technical direction across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and planning through to detailed design, construction support and asset management. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, clients, regulators, contractors and community stakeholders to develop practical, sustainable and cost-effective solutions.

Key responsibilities will include managing hydrological and hydraulic assessments; preparing flood risk, drainage and water management strategies; developing and reviewing technical reports, calculations, specifications and design drawings; and overseeing modelling using appropriate industry software. You will provide expert advice on stormwater management, catchment planning, water-sensitive urban design, river and coastal processes, and climate resilience. The role will also involve mentoring engineers, reviewing technical work, managing project scope, programme and budgets, contributing to bids and proposals, and supporting the continual improvement of engineering standards and processes.

Applicants should hold a degree in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline, together with substantial professional experience in water resources or hydraulic engineering. Professional registration or an equivalent recognised qualification is desirable. You will need strong technical knowledge of relevant legislation, design standards, flood risk principles and environmental requirements, as well as experience using hydrological and hydraulic modelling tools. Excellent communication, report-writing and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise competing demands and make sound engineering decisions. Experience leading projects and developing less experienced team members will be highly valued. This is an opportunity to contribute to resilient, sustainable water infrastructure while working on varied and technically challenging projects.
