Senior Water Resources Engineer

Reference: yp2vo6k1wvvv85y7eqbh

We are seeking a Senior Water Resources Engineer to lead the delivery of technically robust, sustainable and commercially aware water resources projects. This is an opportunity to work on a varied portfolio involving water supply planning, catchment management, flood risk, drought resilience, water quality and environmental assessment. You will provide technical direction from project inception through to completion, ensuring that solutions meet client requirements, regulatory standards and wider environmental objectives.

Your responsibilities will include managing and contributing to water resources assessments, hydraulic and hydrological modelling, options appraisal, feasibility studies, business cases and technical reports. You will be expected to interpret complex data, develop practical recommendations and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. The role will also involve planning and overseeing surveys, reviewing modelling outputs, preparing scopes and fee proposals, managing budgets and programmes, and supporting the delivery of projects to a high professional standard. You may also provide technical guidance to less experienced colleagues and contribute to the continual improvement of methods, tools and internal procedures.

Applicants should hold a relevant degree in civil engineering, water engineering, hydrology, environmental science or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in water resources engineering or a closely related field. Experience of industry-standard hydrological or hydraulic modelling software, data analysis and technical report writing is essential. A sound understanding of UK water resources legislation, environmental regulation, planning requirements and industry guidance would be advantageous. You will need strong problem-solving, communication and stakeholder-management skills, as well as the ability to prioritise competing demands and work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Professional registration, or active progress towards chartership, is desirable.
