We now look for an experienced and skilled civil engineer to join us ASAP.

What You Will Be Doing

• Undertake investigations, planning, and design for three waters infrastructure, including stormwater, wastewater, and water supply systems.
• Investigate urban flooding issues by analyzing drainage networks, catchment characteristics, LiDAR data, survey information, and historical flooding records.
• Assess existing three waters assets by analyzing asset data, condition information, CCTV inspections, GIS data, previous investigations, and hydraulic models to identify hydraulic deficiencies and required improvements.
• Perform stormwater network capacity assessments and develop engineering solutions to mitigate flooding, surcharging, and overland flow risks.
• Develop flood mitigation strategies, including detention systems, network upgrades, pipe upsizing, and overland flow management solutions.
• Assess open channels, waterways, and receiving environments for hydraulic capacity, erosion risks, vegetation impacts, and maintenance requirements.

Skills and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Environmental, Water, Hydrology, or a related Engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 3 years' experience in the planning, design, and delivery of three waters infrastructure projects, including water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems.
• Strong understanding of water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems, with sound knowledge of relevant Australian and New Zealand design standards and industry guidelines.
• Sound understanding of hydrology, hydraulics, and pipeline network design principles.
• Demonstrated experience in hydraulic modelling using InfoWorks ICM (1D/2D) or InfoWorks WS Pro. Experience with HEC-RAS is essential.
• High level of proficiency in ArcGIS Pro, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and OpenRoads.
• Proven ability to independently design complex three waters networks, including water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems, and undertake hydraulic modelling of pipelines, pump stations, and associated infrastructure.
• Experience preparing engineering drawings, technical specifications, schedules of quantities, and cost estimates.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to deliver high quality engineering solutions within project timeframes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build and maintain effective relationships with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams.

Pay range starts from $80000 - $85000 per annum based on 40 hours per week.
