Entry-Level Water/Wastewater Engineer

An exciting opportunity is available for an Entry-Level Water/Wastewater Engineer to begin or develop their career within the water and environmental infrastructure sector. Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the planning, design and delivery of projects that improve water supply, wastewater treatment, drainage and related infrastructure. This role is suited to a recent graduate or an engineer with some relevant experience who is keen to gain practical exposure and work towards professional development.


Your responsibilities will include assisting with the preparation of engineering designs, calculations, technical reports, specifications, drawings and schedules for water and wastewater schemes. You will support investigations, site surveys, feasibility studies and the assessment of existing assets, as well as helping to develop solutions that are safe, sustainable, cost-effective and compliant with current standards and regulations. You may also contribute to hydraulic modelling, data analysis, asset inspections, project documentation, risk assessments and the coordination of information from clients, contractors and other technical disciplines. Occasional travel to project sites may be required.


Applicants should hold, or be working towards, a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, water or wastewater engineering. A strong interest in the water sector, sound numerical and analytical skills, and the ability to communicate clearly in writing and in person are essential. Familiarity with design software, hydraulic modelling packages, AutoCAD, GIS or Microsoft Office would be advantageous, although full training can be provided. You should be organised, proactive and willing to learn, with the ability to manage priorities and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. In return, you will receive structured support, mentoring and opportunities to broaden your technical experience while progressing towards professional accreditation.
