Working closely with clients, regulators, contractors and stakeholders, you will ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead water resources and flood risk projects from inception, feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design and implementation.
  • Manage project scope, programmes, budgets, risks, resources and technical deliverables.
  • Prepare and review flood risk assessments, hydraulic and hydrological modelling, drainage strategies, water management plans and environmental reports.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers and support the development of project teams.
