Job Overview

Urban Water Management Specialists - All Experience Levels and Locations Across the UK

Due to the ongoing expansion of our thriving Water division, we are looking to recruit Urban Water Management Specialists in various UK offices. The successful candidates will become part of a multidisciplinary team comprising engineers, modellers, geographers, GIS experts, and technicians, contributing significantly to projects for a diverse range of clients, including water utilities, local councils, and developers, with opportunities to engage in international initiatives.

The Urban Water Management team operates within the Asset Planning & Solutions sector, executing a variety of projects related to water and wastewater management. This includes designing water supply systems and trunk mains, as well as enhancing drainage networks to mitigate flooding and pollution issues, thereby improving environmental conditions. Typical responsibilities involve conducting feasibility studies and projects utilizing computer modelling and analysis to support operational and environmental recommendations or other interventions.

Familiarity with urban drainage modelling software such as InfoWorks ICM (or CS), GIS tools like ARC or MapInfo, and civil engineering principles would be beneficial but is not mandatory, as comprehensive on-the-job training will be provided as needed. These positions will entail working on feasibility studies, performing computer analyses primarily to support flood mitigation and environmental enhancement projects, conducting site visits, and collaborating with clients, contractors, stakeholders, and other professional entities. The output will generally consist of concise reports summarizing the methodologies employed and findings from the investigations.

For senior positions, varying degrees of experience in model development and validation, hydraulic and water quality assessments, catchment management, Drainage and Wastewater Management Planning (DWMP), solution formulation, and technical leadership are required to align with the specific role.
Qualifications:
  • BSc/BEng/MEng degree in geography, GIS, environmental science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent qualifications considered for senior roles.
  • Technician roles necessitate HNC or HND qualifications in similar disciplines. Opportunities for professional development will be available for successful candidates.
Training and Development:
AtkinsRéalis is dedicated to fostering individual growth through a comprehensive range of training and development activities aimed at maximizing your potential. These initiatives are reviewed annually during performance appraisals. We actively encourage staff to pursue professional qualifications from relevant institutions.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Development of computer models to analyze flooding and environmental challenges and propose preliminary solutions.
  • Data analysis and interpretation.
  • Assisting in the preparation of reports and other project deliverables.
  • Conducting site surveys and inspections.
  • Creating and adhering to health and safety risk assessments.
Candidate Profile

The ideal candidates will be eager to learn and grow technically, whether at the beginning of their careers, pursuing relevant professional qualifications, or applying their skills in senior leadership roles. Self-motivation and the ability to collaborate effectively with others in various project capacities are essential.

AtkinsRéalis is committed to accommodating flexible working arrangements, recognizing the importance of a balanced work-life dynamic. We are open to discussing individual needs to create a diverse and adaptable workforce.

Compensation and Benefits:

We offer a competitive salary regularly benchmarked against industry standards, along with a default of 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays, with options to purchase or sell additional leave. Salary and benefits will be aligned with experience and qualifications.

Additional Information:

This role may require security clearance, and employment offers will depend on obtaining the necessary level of clearance. If applicable, this will be discussed during the interview process. The vetting process is conducted by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) and may require candidates to provide proof of UK residency for a minimum of five years.
