We are seeking a Civil Engineer I – Water Resources to support the planning, design, and delivery of water-related infrastructure and environmental engineering projects. This entry-level position is suited to a motivated engineer who is interested in hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater management, flood risk assessment, drainage systems, water supply, and related civil engineering services. The successful candidate will work under the guidance of experienced professionals while developing practical skills across project planning, technical analysis, design, and construction support.

Key responsibilities will include assisting with hydrologic and hydraulic studies; preparing calculations, technical reports, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates; supporting the design of stormwater conveyance systems, detention facilities, culverts, channels, and drainage improvements; reviewing survey information and engineering data; and contributing to field investigations, site inspections, and construction administration activities. You may also help prepare permit applications, respond to technical questions, coordinate with project teams and external stakeholders, and ensure that deliverables meet applicable standards, regulations, and quality requirements. The role may involve using engineering software, spreadsheets, mapping tools, and computer-aided design applications to evaluate alternatives and develop practical solutions.

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or a closely related discipline, with coursework or project experience in water resources preferred. Strong analytical, technical writing, communication, and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple assignments and meet deadlines. Familiarity with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, AutoCAD or similar design software, GIS, and relevant industry standards is advantageous. Candidates should demonstrate sound judgement, attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Eligibility for professional engineering registration, or progress toward it, will be viewed favourably. Occasional travel to project sites may be required.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer – Water Resources to lead the planning, design and delivery of complex water management projects. This role will suit a technically capable professional who can provide engineering expertise across flood risk management, stormwater drainage, catchment planning, hydrology and hydraulic modelling. You will work on projects that support resilient infrastructure, sustainable development and effective management of water resources in both urban and regional environments.

Key responsibilities will include managing technical investigations, developing design solutions, preparing reports, specifications and cost estimates, and overseeing the delivery of water-related studies and infrastructure projects. You will undertake and review hydrologic and hydraulic assessments, flood modelling, drainage strategies, water balance assessments and options analyses. The role will also involve providing technical guidance to engineers and project teams, reviewing drawings and calculations, managing project risks, coordinating specialist consultants, and ensuring work is delivered to relevant standards, legislation, quality requirements and agreed timeframes. You will be expected to build effective relationships with clients, regulators, contractors and internal stakeholders, while contributing to business development, proposals and continuous improvement initiatives.

Applicants should hold a degree in civil or water resources engineering, or a related discipline, together with substantial professional experience in water resources engineering and project delivery. Strong knowledge of hydrology, hydraulics, floodplain management, stormwater systems and relevant modelling software is required. Experience with tools such as TUFLOW, MIKE, HEC-RAS, DRAINS, URBS or comparable platforms will be highly regarded. Professional registration or eligibility for registration is desirable. You will bring sound commercial judgement, excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong analytical ability and the confidence to work independently while supporting others. A proactive approach, attention to detail and commitment to safety, technical excellence and sustainable outcomes are essential.
