Water Resources/Hydraulics Engineer

An exciting opportunity is available for a Water Resources/Hydraulics Engineer to contribute to the planning, design and delivery of sustainable water infrastructure and flood risk management projects. This role will suit a technically capable engineer who enjoys working across multidisciplinary teams and applying sound engineering judgement to complex water-related challenges.

You will support projects from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design, construction and commissioning. The position involves hydraulic modelling, technical assessments, design development and the preparation of clear, accurate reports for a range of stakeholders. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to innovative solutions that improve resilience, environmental performance and community safety.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop and review hydraulic and hydrological models for rivers, drainage networks, watercourses and flood alleviation schemes.
  • Undertake flood risk assessments, surface water management studies and water resources investigations.
  • Prepare calculations, technical specifications, drawings, reports and other design documentation.
  • Support the design of drainage, culvert, attenuation, pumping and natural flood management solutions.
  • Interpret survey, GIS, rainfall, flow and environmental data to inform engineering decisions.
  • Work collaboratively with engineers, environmental specialists, planners, contractors and external stakeholders.
  • Assist with project programming, cost estimation, risk management and technical quality assurance.
  • Attend site visits, inspections and meetings, providing practical engineering advice where required.

About you

You will hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline. Experience in hydraulic or hydrological modelling, preferably using industry-standard software, is desirable. Knowledge of UK flood risk guidance, drainage standards, water environment legislation and relevant design codes would be advantageous.

Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage priorities and deliver high-quality work to agreed timescales. You should be proactive, commercially aware and committed to continual professional development. Candidates working towards, or already holding, professional registration with an appropriate engineering institution are encouraged to apply.
