Wastewater Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Wastewater Engineer to support the planning, design, delivery and improvement of wastewater treatment and collection systems. This role will involve working across a range of projects, from feasibility studies and asset assessments through to detailed design, construction support and operational optimisation. You will contribute technical expertise to help deliver safe, efficient and sustainable solutions that meet regulatory, environmental and customer requirements.


Key responsibilities will include preparing calculations, technical reports, specifications, drawings and schedules for wastewater infrastructure and treatment processes. You will assess hydraulic performance, treatment capacity, asset condition and process efficiency, identifying practical improvements and managing technical risks. The role will also involve reviewing designs, interpreting site and operational data, supporting environmental assessments, liaising with contractors and stakeholders, and providing technical input during procurement and construction. You may be required to visit operational sites, investigate issues, oversee surveys and inspections, and assist with commissioning, troubleshooting and performance testing.


Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, chemical or process engineering, along with relevant professional experience in wastewater treatment, sewerage networks or related water infrastructure. A working knowledge of hydraulic modelling, treatment processes, relevant legislation, health and safety requirements and industry standards is essential. Experience with design and modelling software, project delivery and technical assurance would be advantageous. We are looking for someone who combines sound engineering judgement with strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills. You should be comfortable working independently and collaboratively, managing competing priorities and presenting technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A commitment to environmental protection, continuous improvement and high-quality service delivery is essential. A valid driving licence and willingness to travel to project and operational sites may be required.
