Job Description
Start here. Grow here. “Are you ready to join a team of wastewater modellers and shape the future of the Water Industry?” Join our dynamic and multidisciplinary Water Team as a Senior Wastewater Hydraulic Modeller. You can be based in one of our UK or Ireland offices whilst also taking advantage of our flexible hybrid working model.
You will be a key player in delivering impactful water projects across the UK and internationally. We enable the development of significant flood alleviation schemes, pollution reduction, and infrastructure projects, and this variety will be fundamental to your continuous professional growth. A unique aspect of our approach is that our modelling team is fully integrated with the wider project teams, ensuring that our modellers work closely alongside experts in other areas to develop comprehensive solutions.
As an industry leader in Blue-Green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, we work with both public and private sector clients such as Severn Trent, Anglian Water, Northern Ireland Water, the Environment Agency, LLFAs and other infrastructure providers. We deliver Flood Risk Assessments, Drainage Strategies, Outline Business Cases, hydraulic models, and detailed designs. We shape industry standards by advising and developing guidance that benchmarks best practices, keeping AECOM at the forefront of the water industry. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to support a talented, diverse team committed to innovation, collaboration, and efficiency.
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Deliver: Build hydraulic models and perform verification of sewer networks; run integrated model development, support with the scoping and planning of projects including flow survey verification, and development of catchment scale strategic solutions for flooding and pollution risks.
- Expertise: Deliver technical innovation including application of new technologies; problem solve for our clients and develop scopes and tender responses.
- Documentation: Prepare and deliver technical reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate modelling findings effectively using strong communication skills.
- Lead: Mentor and support other team members as part of their professional development and foster positive client relationships.
- Quality: Act as a checker of hydraulic models, calculations, and technical reports, to ensure a quality team delivery, and compliance with modelling specifications.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
