Hydraulic Lead Project Engineer
Hydraulic Lead Project Engineer
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Hydraulic Lead Project Engineer to join a technically focused engineering team delivering complex water, wastewater, flood risk and infrastructure projects. This role will provide technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design, construction support and commissioning.
You will lead hydraulic studies and design activities, ensuring solutions are safe, sustainable, buildable and compliant with relevant standards. Working closely with engineers, clients, contractors and other technical disciplines, you will coordinate project delivery, provide expert advice and support the development of less experienced team members.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the hydraulic design and technical delivery of projects across water and infrastructure sectors.
- Prepare and review hydraulic modelling, calculations, technical reports, specifications and drawings.
- Manage design programmes, budgets, resources, risks and technical deliverables.
- Provide technical assurance and undertake design reviews to maintain quality and compliance.
- Support feasibility studies, optioneering, outline and detailed design, tender documentation and construction activities.
- Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, clients, regulators and delivery partners.
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, sustainability, resilience and whole-life value.
- Mentor and develop engineers, graduates and technicians within the wider team.
About you
You will be a qualified civil or hydraulic engineer with substantial experience in the design and delivery of water, wastewater, drainage, flood risk or related infrastructure projects. A strong understanding of hydraulic principles, modelling techniques and industry standards is essential, along with the ability to communicate complex technical information clearly.
Experience with hydraulic modelling software such as InfoWorks ICM, HEC-RAS, Flood Modeller or equivalent would be advantageous. You should be comfortable taking ownership of technical decisions, managing competing priorities and working effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
What is offered
This role offers the opportunity to work on challenging and meaningful infrastructure projects, develop your technical and leadership capabilities, and contribute to resilient, sustainable engineering solutions. Flexible working arrangements, professional development support and a comprehensive benefits package are available.
