Join our dynamic and multidisciplinary Water Team as a Senior Civil Engineer specialising in SuDS in our rapidly growing Belfast office - whilst also taking advantage of our flexible hybrid working model. At AECOM, we're at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of water programmes and projects through long term partnerships with key clients.

This position offers an unparalleled opportunity to support a talented, diverse team committed to innovation and efficiency.

We are an industry leader in the application of SuDS infrastructure and nature based solutions. Our team is leading in this growing area of the water industry, with recent projects including being a leading design consultant for Severn Trent's £76m Mansfield Strategic Flood Resilience Project - the largest Sustainable Drainage (SuDS) retrofit project in the UK; drafting Severn Trent's Retrofit SuDS Design Manuals as well as authoring the draft National Standards for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), published in England by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Here's what you'll do:
  • Deliver: Lead and support the design of SuDS interventions/solutions for residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Be involved in all design stages, such as feasibility studies (including financial and non financial comparisons), outline designs, detailed designs, and preparing reports, technical specifications and drainage impact assessments.
  • Expertise: Undertake hydraulic modelling, runoff calculations and attenuation/storage design to meet current standards and provide technical expertise for interdisciplinary analytical studies. Contribute to the preparation of contract documents for the construction phase of SuDS interventions/solutions.
  • Lead: Liaise with clients, local authorities, planning officers and regulators to secure approvals for SuDS schemes. Support site teams with the implementation of designed solutions and provide technical input during construction.
  • Quality: Promote innovation and sustainable practices within drainage, wastewater and water infrastructure. Contribute to design reviews, ensuring compliance with CIRIA SuDS Manual and local guidance and legislation.
