Are you ready to join a team of talented engineers and shape the future of water infrastructure?

We're looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join our growing Water Solutions team in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, or Plymouth.

With flexible working from our South West & Wales locations, you'll collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions. As part of AECOM, you'll engage in impactful projects from inception through to delivery, enhancing the environment and supporting communities.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate: Work closely with our teams of engineers, hydraulic modellers, environmental scientists, and technical specialists to deliver a wide range of projects in within the UK and overseas to a high level of quality.

• Leadership: Undertake line manager responsibilities for junior staff, providing guidance and management to them as well as completing performance evaluations for those assigned.
• Quality: Ensure compliance of design with all applicable standards and regulations and provide technical expertise for interdisciplinary analytical studies.

If you're passionate about innovation and turning bold ideas into reality, AECOM welcomes you. Join our team, where we don't just construct infrastructure but also uplift communities and enhance lives.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience within the water sector at, or close to, the Senior level, ideally within the UK or with a good appreciation of UK norms and standards.
• Chartered or Incorporated with a relevant institution e.g. ICE, CIWEM, or working towards it.
• Experience in outline and/or detailed design, preferably in wastewater/water networks and treatment schemes, flood risk management, assessment, or drainage schemes.
