Job Description

Our Water Team (within the broader Civil Engineering team) in Sydney are currently looking for a Water Planner to grow our Water Planning capability. This will be a technically focused role, where you will be supported by multidisciplinary engineers and professionals,



while engaging and leading diverse technical projects and establish well-defined procedures. We are flexible on level of experience, but this current opportunity would particularly suit someone who feels they can reach ‘Senior’ status within the next 18 – 36 months.

You will join a team of industry leaders who pride ourselves on the delivery of innovative water planning projects, particularly in the areas of master planning, growth servicing, network planning, strategic planning for both water and recycled water networks, detailed planning for a growing portfolio of large infrastructure projects and integrated water planning for urban development and growth corridor projects for developer and utility clients.

Our Senior Leaders are strong believers in flexible working. We are currently following NSW Health guidelines but are strong believers in collaborative work in an office environment, but the new norm will see a mix of working in the (newly refurbished) office and working from home – therefore every employee receives a full ‘WFH Kit’ which allows you to duplicate the same set-up you have in the office.

If you are unsure whether this fully aligns with your career aspirations but would still be interested in exploring opportunities within our Water Team, we would love to talk to you – so please go ahead and apply, ideally with a Cover Letter.
