Water Resources Design Engineer
We are seeking a Water Resources Design Engineer to contribute to the planning, design and delivery of water-related infrastructure and environmental improvement projects. The role will involve working across a varied portfolio, including drainage networks, flood risk management schemes, sustainable drainage systems, river and coastal works, water quality initiatives, and associated civil engineering infrastructure. You will support projects from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, approvals, construction and completion.
Key responsibilities will include preparing technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings and schedules; developing hydraulic and hydrological models; undertaking flood risk, drainage and water management assessments; and producing practical, safe and sustainable engineering solutions. You will coordinate with internal disciplines, clients, contractors, statutory bodies and other stakeholders to ensure that designs meet applicable standards, planning conditions, environmental requirements and budgetary constraints. The role may also involve site inspections, construction support, design reviews, risk assessments, technical presentations and mentoring of less experienced colleagues.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline, with relevant experience in water resources, drainage or flood risk design. Experience with industry-standard modelling, CAD and engineering design software is desirable, along with knowledge of UK design standards, environmental legislation, health and safety requirements and project delivery processes. Professional accreditation, or progress towards professional registration, would be advantageous. You should be analytical, organised and confident in communicating technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences. A collaborative approach, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. This position offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects that support resilient communities, protect the environment and improve the long-term sustainability of water infrastructure.
