Water Resources Engineer – 2D Modelling Lead

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced water resources professional to lead the delivery of innovative two-dimensional hydraulic modelling projects. You will provide technical direction across a varied portfolio, supporting the assessment and management of flood risk, drainage systems, river environments and surface water networks.

Working with engineers, environmental specialists, planners and external stakeholders, you will take responsibility for developing robust modelling solutions from initial scoping through to final reporting. The role requires a confident technical lead who can combine detailed analytical expertise with strong communication and project management skills.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead the development, verification and application of 2D hydraulic models using industry-standard software.
  • Manage modelling commissions, including scopes, programmes, budgets, quality assurance and technical deliverables.
  • Interpret complex hydrological, hydraulic and geographic data to identify flood mechanisms and potential mitigation measures.
  • Prepare clear technical reports, calculations, drawings and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to developing engineers and modellers.
  • Collaborate with clients, regulators, contractors and other project stakeholders to achieve effective outcomes.
  • Contribute to bids, fee proposals, innovation initiatives and the continued improvement of modelling standards and processes.

About you

You will have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering, geography or a related discipline, together with substantial experience in flood risk or water resources modelling. A strong working knowledge of 2D hydraulic modelling principles, model build and calibration, flood mapping and data interpretation is essential.

Experience with software such as TUFLOW, Flood Modeller, InfoWorks ICM or equivalent platforms would be advantageous. You should be comfortable working with GIS and relevant spatial datasets, and able to demonstrate sound technical judgement, attention to detail and a practical approach to problem-solving.

What is offered

You will join a collaborative, supportive environment offering varied projects, professional development and the opportunity to influence the delivery of technically challenging water resources work. Flexible working arrangements, a competitive benefits package and clear opportunities for progression are available.
