Senior Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Engineer to lead the planning, design and delivery of complex water-related projects. This role will involve applying strong technical expertise to stormwater management, flood risk assessment, drainage infrastructure, hydrological and hydraulic modelling, water quality, and catchment management initiatives. You will work across multidisciplinary teams to develop practical, sustainable and cost-effective solutions for public and private sector clients, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, standards and approval requirements.
Key responsibilities will include managing projects from feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, construction support and completion; preparing technical reports, design documentation, specifications, cost estimates and business cases; undertaking and reviewing hydrologic and hydraulic modelling; and providing technical advice to clients, stakeholders and project teams. You will also supervise and mentor engineers and technical staff, coordinate contributions from internal and external specialists, review technical outputs, manage budgets and programmes, and contribute to proposals and business development activities. The role may include site inspections, stakeholder engagement and presenting technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil or environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a closely related discipline, together with substantial professional experience in water resources, drainage or flood management. Professional registration or a clear pathway toward registration will be highly regarded. Strong knowledge of relevant design standards, environmental regulations and modelling tools is essential, along with demonstrated experience delivering technically robust projects. You will need excellent communication, report-writing and problem-solving skills, sound commercial awareness, and the ability to manage competing priorities with limited supervision. A collaborative leadership style, attention to detail and a commitment to safety, sustainability and continuous improvement are also important. This is an opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects while supporting the development of technical capability within a growing and diverse team.
