You will be instrumental in the design and development of cutting-edge dams, hydropower, and pumped storage hydro solutions.

Based in any of our UK offices, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team working on diverse projects such as Coire Glas in Scotland, Koysha in Ethiopia, and Dinorwig in Wales. You will also support UK water companies with inspections, remediation, and the development of new dams and reservoirs. We have developed a strong reputation within the sector as a leading, progressive and forward-thinking consultancy, focused on delivering high quality outputs to ensure the client achieves their outcomes and business benefits.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Hydro and/or pumped storage hydro schemes
  • Design and assessment of complex hydraulic structures (channels, culverts, bridges, spillways, stilling basin).

Ideally you will be able to demonstrate civil engineering experience and skills in the dams and hydro sector. However we are keen to hear from you if you have aligned water and energy sector experience, such as the design of hydraulic structures. You will have a good understanding of how the various disciplines within the sector come together to create an integrated solution. You will be experienced in producing technical specifications, designs, and reports, integrating closely with associated disciplines including structures, geotechnical and M&E and, ideally, with experience in preparing designs for both end user clients and D&B contractors. You should be comfortable working within a full 3D environment using appropriate tools to sketch and review models and within a common data environment. Most importantly, you will embody and support our values of client focus, designing with community in mind, collaboration and service excellence.
