The Role

This role involves hands-on modelling, analysis, and interpretation of water and wastewater network performance to support client projects across the UK water sector. It’s ideal for someone with a strong technical grounding in hydraulic modelling who enjoys problem-solving and working collaboratively in multidisciplinary project teams.

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead and deliver hydraulic modelling of complex water and wastewater treatment and distribution systems.
• Develop, calibrate, and maintain hydraulic models for wastewater and water networks and infrastructure.

Collaborate effectively with engineers, analysts, and consultants to integrate modelling outputs into wider project solutions.

Analyse model results to identify network performance issues, optimise system operation, and support decision-making.

Contribute to the design and implementation of innovative modelling approaches and digital tools.

Participate in project meetings, contribute to client discussions, and support the achievement of project milestones.

Ensure modelling outputs are accurate, well-documented, and aligned with project requirements and quality standards.

Support data preparation, validation, and analysis using relevant software and tools.

Person Specification

• Technically minded and analytical, with a passion for understanding how hydraulic networks and systems behave and can be optimised.

• Proactive problem-solver, able to manage tasks independently while meeting project deadlines.
• Detail-oriented and committed to producing high-quality technical work.
• Curious and innovative, with an interest in digital transformation and the application of new technologies in the water sector.

Skills and Experience

• Experience within a UK water company, consultancy, or regulated utilities environment.
• Strong knowledge and experience in the operation, analysis, or modelling of water and wastewater networks.
• Hands-on experience with hydraulic modelling software (e.g., InfoWorks ICM / WS Pro, EPANET, or equivalent).
• Understanding of wastewater networks and water supply distribution systems, network hydraulics, and performance drivers.
• Ability to work autonomously and manage workload across multiple projects. 

Education and Qualifications

• There are no specific qualifications or educational requirements needed for this position.
