The Opportunity

Our client is looking for a Senior Civil Engineer with a strong technical background in hydraulic analysis and design to join its growing water team.

This is an opportunity to work on a varied portfolio of UK and international water projects, covering a range of technically challenging schemes across the water and wastewater sector.

The successful candidate will undertake hydraulic analysis and design across different stages of the project lifecycle, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to develop practical and effective engineering solutions.

Projects may include:

• Transmission pipelines
• Surge analysis
• Hydraulic design of water and wastewater treatment works
• Large-scale drainage systems
• Stormwater storage and tunnel schemes
• Water and wastewater networks

The Role

Responsibilities will include:

• Leading and delivering hydraulic analysis and design across a range of potable water and wastewater projects.
• Producing and reviewing engineering calculations, specifications, drawings and technical reports.
• Developing hydraulic calculations and hydraulic profiles for water and wastewater treatment works.
• Providing technical guidance, mentoring and support to more junior engineers.
• Working directly with clients and other stakeholders to support effective project delivery.
• Identifying and communicating issues that could affect programme, quality or cost.
• Preparing time and budget estimates as part of bids and proposals.
• Working collaboratively with environmental, geotechnical, structural, electrical, mechanical and other technical disciplines.
• Taking responsibility for technical delivery within an area of the project and managing associated budgets.
• Maintaining and developing technical expertise through continued professional development.
• Applying relevant industry standards and best practice to project delivery.

About You

The successful candidate will have:

• Strong technical experience in pressurised and open-channel hydraulics applied to civil engineering.
• Experience with surge analysis, transmission pipelines and/or large-scale drainage systems.
• Practical experience across one or more stages of the project lifecycle.
• Experience using surge analysis software such as WANDA or Bentley HAMMER.
• Experience developing hydraulic calculations and hydraulic profiles for water and wastewater treatment works.
• Experience leading the technical delivery of projects and managing budgets within an area of responsibility.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary water, pipeline or network projects.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with clients, colleagues and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable Experience

The following would be advantageous:

• Transmission pipeline design, including route and material selection, hydraulic design, steel pipe wall thickness calculations and thrust restraint solutions.
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applied to the water industry.
• Experience supervising physical scale modelling studies.
• Understanding of designers' responsibilities under CDM.
• Experience with clean water network modelling software such as EPANET, WaterGEMS or InfoWorks.
• Chartered status with a relevant professional institution, such as ICE or CIWEM.

The Opportunity

The role provides the opportunity to work on a diverse range of technically challenging water projects while developing both technical and project leadership experience.

You will work alongside specialists from across the wider water and engineering disciplines, providing exposure to complex multidisciplinary projects and opportunities to broaden your technical expertise.
