Working directly with clients, local authorities and other stakeholders to progress schemes.
Supporting project and commercial management, including programmes, resources and deliverables.
Providing technical input into larger and more complex projects.
Contributing to flood risk assessments, drainage strategies and feasibility studies.
Supporting bids, fee proposals and business development activity.
Mentoring and supporting graduate and junior engineers.
Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business.
Ensuring designs consider sustainability, environmental impact, health and safety and buildability.
About You
We're looking for an experienced water and drainage professional who is technically strong, commercially aware and confident dealing with clients and project stakeholders.
You'll ideally have:
Strong experience in water engineering, drainage, flood risk management or SuDS design.
Experience delivering projects through feasibility, detailed design and construction.

Good CAD skills, ideally including Civil 3D.

Experience working with local authorities, developers or other public/private-sector clients.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
The ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines.

The company offers:
Employee ownership, with employees able to share in the success of the business through a profit-share scheme.
