Water Resources Engineer
We are seeking a Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of sustainable water management projects. This role will involve working across a range of assignments, including flood risk management, drainage, surface water, hydrology, hydraulic modelling, water supply, and environmental improvement schemes. You will contribute to projects from initial feasibility and option appraisal through detailed design, construction support, and completion.
Key responsibilities will include preparing technical reports, calculations, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates; developing and reviewing hydrological and hydraulic models; assessing flood risk and drainage strategies; interpreting field data and survey information; and supporting the preparation of planning, environmental, and regulatory submissions. You will liaise with clients, contractors, regulators, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary project teams, ensuring that designs are technically sound, practical, compliant, and delivered to agreed timescales and budgets. The role may also include site inspections, construction monitoring, risk assessment, and mentoring of junior colleagues.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering, or a closely related discipline, together with relevant professional experience in water resources or infrastructure projects. Experience with hydraulic modelling software, GIS, CAD, data analysis, and industry-standard design guidance is desirable. You should have a sound understanding of flood risk, drainage principles, hydrology, hydraulic engineering, and applicable environmental and regulatory requirements. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage priorities, solve technical problems, and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Professional accreditation, or a clear commitment to achieving it, would be advantageous.
