Environmental Water Resources Engineer

We are seeking an Environmental Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design and delivery of sustainable water management projects. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically capable professional to contribute to work that protects water environments, improves resilience and supports responsible development.

You will work with multidisciplinary teams, clients, regulators and contractors to develop practical, evidence-based solutions. The role will involve applying hydraulic, hydrological and environmental principles across a range of projects, from flood risk management and drainage schemes to catchment planning, water quality improvement and nature-based solutions.

Key responsibilities

  • Undertake hydrological and hydraulic assessments, flood risk appraisals and drainage studies.
  • Develop and review technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings and environmental assessments.
  • Use appropriate modelling, mapping and data analysis tools to investigate water resources and environmental challenges.
  • Support the design of sustainable drainage systems, river restoration, flood mitigation and climate adaptation measures.
  • Interpret legislation, regulatory guidance and environmental standards, ensuring that project outputs meet required obligations.
  • Coordinate with stakeholders, attend meetings and contribute to consultations, site investigations and project reviews.
  • Assist with project planning, fee proposals, risk management and the delivery of work to agreed timescales and budgets.

About you

You will have a relevant degree or equivalent experience in environmental engineering, water resources, civil engineering, hydrology or a related discipline. Experience in water, flood risk, drainage or environmental consultancy is desirable, along with familiarity with UK regulations and industry guidance.

We are looking for someone with strong analytical and report-writing skills, sound technical judgement and a genuine interest in improving the natural environment. You should be confident working independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team. Experience with hydraulic modelling software, GIS, CAD or data analysis packages would be advantageous.

A professional qualification or progress towards chartership is welcomed. In return, you will receive opportunities for technical development, varied project experience and support to build a rewarding career in sustainable water management.
