Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a skilled Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of projects involving water management, drainage, flood risk, and environmental infrastructure. This role will suit a technically capable professional who can apply sound engineering principles to develop practical, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions. You will work on projects across the full delivery lifecycle, from early investigations and feasibility studies through to detailed design, approvals, construction support, and post-project review.
Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrologic and hydraulic assessments, flood risk and drainage studies, water balance calculations, stormwater management strategies, and technical reports. You will develop and review engineering designs, specifications, drawings, calculations, and modelling outputs, while ensuring that work complies with relevant legislation, standards, planning requirements, and environmental objectives. The role will also involve interpreting field data, coordinating surveys and investigations, contributing to project budgets and schedules, responding to technical queries, and supporting construction teams and stakeholders during project delivery. You may also be required to mentor junior staff and contribute to improving technical processes and project outcomes.
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 catchment management. Experience with industry-standard hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software, GIS, and engineering design tools is highly desirable. You will need strong analytical, report-writing, communication, and project coordination skills, along with the ability to manage priorities and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Professional registration or progress toward registration will be viewed favourably. A commitment to technical quality, health and safety, environmental stewardship, and continuous professional development is essential.
