Associate Water Modelling Lead Glasgow Hybrid Working An internationally recognised Engineering Consultancy is looking to appoint an Associate Water Modelling Lead to join its expanding Water team in Glasgow. Applications are equally welcomed from experienced Principal-level Hydraulic Modellers looking to step into a broader leadership role, as well as established Associates seeking their next challenge within drainage, surface water and wider water infrastructure. With record levels of investment flowing into the UK water sector over the next decade, this is a genuine opportunity to influence nationally significant infrastructure projects, lead high-performing technical teams and help shape the future of sustainable water management. This isn't simply another modelling role. You'll be responsible for leading the delivery of major drainage and surface water frameworks, developing innovative solutions to some of the industry's biggest environmental challenges. From reducing storm overflows and improving water quality to delivering flood resilience, catchment planning and sustainable drainage strategies, your work will have a direct impact on communities across the UK. Working within one of the UK's largest multidisciplinary Water teams, you'll collaborate with specialists across hydraulic modelling, civil engineering, environmental consultancy, ecology, digital engineering and asset management. The scale and variety of projects means you'll have the freedom to tackle technically challenging work whilst helping to shape best practice across the business. As a senior member of the team, you'll provide technical leadership across multiple frameworks, oversee project delivery from concept through to implementation, mentor and develop engineers at all levels, and help drive innovation across modelling techniques, digital delivery and sustainable engineering solutions. You'll also play an active role in developing client relationships, supporting framework growth and helping to shape the strategic direction of the team as it continues to expand. You'll be trusted to lead technically complex programmes whilst working closely with water companies, regulators and key stakeholders to deliver practical, forward-thinking solutions. This is a role where your technical expertise will genuinely influence the direction of projects and where you'll be encouraged to challenge conventional thinking to deliver better outcomes for clients and the environment. To be considered, you'll ideally have: Significant experience in hydraulic modelling within the UK water sector. Strong knowledge of drainage, wastewater and surface water modelling, catchment planning and integrated water management. Expertise using InfoWorks ICM and associated hydraulic modelling software. Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering complex framework projects. Excellent communication, stakeholder management and client-facing skills. A passion for mentoring, coaching and developing engineers. Chartered status with ICE, CIWEM or an equivalent professional institution, or be actively working towards it. In return, you'll join a Consultancy renowned for investing in its people just as much as its projects. You'll benefit from structured leadership development, industry-leading technical training, flexible and hybrid working, a comprehensive benefits package and genuine opportunities to progress into regional and national leadership positions. You'll also become part of a business with one of the strongest project pipelines in the UK water sector, working on long-term frameworks that offer both security and variety. Rather than being confined to a single project or client, you'll have the opportunity to influence major infrastructure programmes, collaborate with some of the industry's leading technical specialists and play a key role in developing the next generation of water engineers. If you're looking for a role that offers genuine technical leadership, strategic influence and the opportunity to deliver projects that will improve communities and protect the environment for decades to come, this is an opportunity that's well worth exploring. For more information about this role, please contact Sam at Calibre or click Apply.
