Water Infrastructure Planning Engineer
We are seeking a skilled Water Infrastructure Planning Engineer to support the development of resilient, sustainable and cost-effective water and wastewater infrastructure. This is an opportunity to contribute to strategic investment programmes and help shape solutions that meet growing demand, regulatory expectations and long-term environmental objectives.
Working collaboratively with technical specialists, operational teams, contractors, regulators and external stakeholders, you will assess network capacity, identify investment needs and develop practical infrastructure strategies. You will be involved in projects from early feasibility through to detailed planning, ensuring that proposed solutions are technically robust, deliverable and aligned with service priorities.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and maintain water and wastewater infrastructure plans, investment strategies and delivery programmes.
- Undertake hydraulic, capacity and performance assessments to identify risks, constraints and improvement opportunities.
- Prepare technical reports, feasibility studies, business cases and investment recommendations.
- Coordinate input from engineering, environmental, asset management, planning and commercial teams.
- Support the appraisal and prioritisation of capital schemes, considering cost, risk, resilience, compliance and customer outcomes.
- Review planning proposals, design information and technical submissions, providing informed engineering advice.
- Monitor progress against agreed plans, budgets and milestones, escalating risks and recommending corrective action where required.
- Contribute to regulatory submissions, consultation responses and stakeholder engagement activities.
About you
You will have experience in water, wastewater, civil engineering, asset management or infrastructure planning, with a sound understanding of network operation and investment decision-making. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, water engineering or a related discipline is desirable, along with relevant professional experience.
You should be confident interpreting technical data, producing clear written reports and presenting recommendations to varied audiences. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively across multidisciplinary teams. Experience with hydraulic modelling, GIS, asset management systems or project delivery frameworks would be advantageous.
A proactive approach, commitment to safety and sustainability, and an interest in improving essential services will be highly valued. Training, professional development and support towards relevant professional accreditation may be available.
