- Prepare flood risk assessments, drainage strategies, feasibility studies, technical reports and engineering calculations.
- Support the design of sustainable drainage systems, flood alleviation schemes, culverts, channels and associated infrastructure.
- Analyse data, interpret modelling outputs and provide clear recommendations to support project decisions.
- Contribute to surveys, site investigations, option appraisals, cost estimates and construction-stage support.
- Coordinate with internal disciplines, external stakeholders, planning authorities and environmental regulators.

- Promote safe working practices, environmental responsibility and high standards of quality throughout project delivery.
About you
You will hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, environmental engineering, water management or a related discipline. Experience in water resources, flood risk, drainage or hydraulic modelling is desirable, together with a sound understanding of relevant UK legislation, guidance and design standards.
