About the role

We are seeking a Remote Water/Wastewater Engineer to support the planning, design, analysis, and delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, clients, contractors, and regulatory stakeholders to develop practical, compliant, and cost-effective engineering solutions. Responsibilities may include preparing calculations, technical reports, design drawings, specifications, hydraulic models, feasibility studies, and project documentation for water supply, wastewater collection, treatment, pumping, and related infrastructure. The successful candidate will contribute to projects from concept through detailed design, construction support, and commissioning. Duties will include assessing existing systems, identifying capacity and performance requirements, reviewing technical submissions, supporting procurement activities, responding to design queries, and assisting with site investigations and progress reviews where required. You will also help ensure that designs meet applicable legislation, environmental standards, health and safety requirements, and recognised engineering codes and practices. As a remote professional, you will be expected to communicate effectively through virtual meetings, maintain accurate records, manage competing deadlines, and collaborate across geographically dispersed teams. A degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, water, or wastewater engineering is required, along with relevant professional experience in the design or delivery of water and wastewater projects. Experience with hydraulic modelling software, CAD and design tools, technical reporting, and project coordination is highly desirable. Familiarity with treatment processes, sewer and water network design, pumping systems, drainage principles, and regulatory approvals would be advantageous. Candidates should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, sound commercial awareness, and the ability to explain technical matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Professional registration or progress toward chartered status is welcomed, as is experience working independently in a remote environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
