Senior Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Engineer to lead the planning, design, and delivery of complex water-related infrastructure and environmental projects. This role will support clients and project teams across areas such as stormwater management, flood risk assessment, drainage design, hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, water supply, and watershed planning. You will apply sound engineering judgement to develop practical, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions that meet regulatory, technical, and community requirements.
Responsibilities will include managing technical workstreams and project deliverables; preparing and reviewing feasibility studies, technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings, and consent or permitting documentation; undertaking hydrologic and hydraulic assessments; and using relevant modelling and design software to evaluate system performance and risk. You will provide technical guidance to engineers and graduates, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, engage with clients, contractors, regulators, and stakeholders, and contribute to project budgets, programmes, proposals, and quality assurance processes. The role may also involve site inspections, construction support, asset assessments, and presenting technical recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil, environmental, water resources, or a related engineering discipline, together with substantial professional experience in water resources engineering. Chartered or professionally licensed status, or a clear commitment to achieving it, is desirable. Strong knowledge of relevant standards, regulations, flood risk principles, drainage design, and water management practices is expected. Experience with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling tools, GIS, and technical design software will be advantageous. You will be an analytical and confident communicator with proven project management capability, commercial awareness, and the ability to mentor others while working independently. A proactive approach, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety, sustainability, and high-quality outcomes are essential.
