Water Resources Design Engineer
We are seeking a Water Resources Design Engineer to support the planning, design and delivery of sustainable water infrastructure projects. The role will involve working across a range of schemes, including flood risk management, drainage, surface water management, water supply, river restoration and development-related infrastructure. You will contribute to projects from initial feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design, approvals, construction support and handover.
Your responsibilities will include preparing technical reports, calculations, drawings, specifications and schedules; developing hydraulic and hydrological models; assessing flood risk and drainage strategies; and producing practical, cost-effective design solutions that meet relevant standards and regulatory requirements. You will coordinate with project managers, engineers, environmental specialists, contractors, clients and regulatory bodies, ensuring that technical information is clear, accurate and delivered to programme. The role may also include site inspections, reviewing contractor proposals, supporting construction activities and assisting with the preparation of fee estimates and project documentation.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline, together with relevant experience in water resources or drainage design. Experience with hydraulic modelling and industry-standard design software is desirable, as is familiarity with flood risk assessments, sustainable drainage systems, river systems and environmental permitting. You should be able to interpret technical guidance and legislation, manage competing priorities and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive approach, strong problem-solving ability and commitment to quality are essential. Professional accreditation, or a clear commitment to achieving it, would be advantageous. This position offers the opportunity to work on varied projects while developing technical, commercial and project delivery skills in a collaborative engineering environment.
