Job Search

We are seeking a Water Resources Staff Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of water resources and civil infrastructure projects. This role is suited to an early-career engineer who is motivated to develop technical expertise while contributing to projects involving stormwater management, flood risk reduction, drainage systems, water quality, watershed planning, and related infrastructure. You will work collaboratively with engineers, technical specialists, project managers, clients, and regulatory agencies to deliver practical, sustainable solutions.

Key responsibilities will include preparing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, developing drainage and stormwater management designs, producing technical calculations, plans, specifications, reports, and cost estimates, and assisting with permitting and regulatory submissions. You may support field investigations, site assessments, construction administration, data collection, and the review of contractor submittals. The role will also involve using engineering software and modelling tools, interpreting survey and geospatial data, evaluating existing systems, identifying design constraints, and helping to develop options that meet technical, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

A bachelor’s degree in civil, environmental, water resources, or a closely related engineering discipline is required. Professional experience through internships, placements, or graduate work in water resources, stormwater, drainage, floodplain management, or civil infrastructure is desirable. Familiarity with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software, CAD, GIS, and applicable design standards is an advantage. Candidates should demonstrate strong analytical, written, verbal, and organisational skills, with the ability to manage priorities, work accurately, and contribute effectively within multidisciplinary teams. Eligibility for professional engineering registration, or progress toward registration, is preferred. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel occasionally to project sites may also be required.

We are seeking a Staff Water Resources Engineer to support the planning, design, and delivery of water resources projects across a range of public and private sector clients. This role will contribute to projects involving stormwater management, flood risk assessment, drainage infrastructure, hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, watershed planning, and water quality. You will work as part of multidisciplinary project teams, applying sound engineering judgement to develop practical, resilient, and cost-effective solutions.

Key responsibilities include preparing technical reports, design calculations, drawings, specifications, and permit documentation; developing and reviewing hydrologic and hydraulic models; analysing rainfall, runoff, river, and drainage data; and supporting the design of stormwater conveyance, detention, treatment, and flood mitigation systems. You will assist with field investigations, site assessments, condition evaluations, construction support, and project coordination. The position will also involve communicating with clients, contractors, regulators, and internal stakeholders, participating in design reviews, monitoring budgets and schedules, and providing technical guidance to junior staff. Occasional travel to project sites may be required.

Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in civil or environmental engineering, water resources engineering, or a related discipline, together with relevant professional experience in water resources design and analysis. Professional registration, or progress toward registration, is preferred. Experience with industry-standard hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software, CAD platforms, GIS applications, and spreadsheet-based engineering tools is desirable. Strong technical writing, organisation, problem-solving, and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively both independently and within a collaborative team. A commitment to quality, health and safety, environmental stewardship, and ongoing professional development is expected.
