Water Design Engineer

We are seeking a Water Design Engineer to contribute to the planning, design and delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Working across a range of schemes, you will develop practical, efficient and sustainable engineering solutions from concept through to detailed design and construction. The role will involve collaborating with engineers, technicians, project managers, contractors and clients to ensure designs meet technical, environmental, regulatory and programme requirements. Your responsibilities will include preparing calculations, drawings, specifications, schedules, technical reports and cost estimates for water-related assets and networks. You will assess existing infrastructure, develop hydraulic and engineering solutions, review technical documentation and support the preparation of tender and construction information. You will also attend site visits, design reviews and project meetings, respond to technical queries, assist with construction support and ensure that work is delivered in accordance with relevant standards, health and safety requirements and quality procedures. Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, water, environmental or a related engineering discipline, together with experience in water or wastewater design. A sound understanding of hydraulic principles, drainage systems, pipelines, pumping stations or associated infrastructure is desirable. Experience using design and modelling software, such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, InfoWorks or similar platforms, would be advantageous. You should be able to interpret technical standards, produce accurate engineering documentation and manage competing priorities while working to deadlines. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Professional registration, or a willingness to work towards professional accreditation, would be welcomed.
