Water Network Analysis Engineer
Leeds
An established specialist in fluid flow analysis is seeking to appoint a new Engineer to join its growing team. With over 50 years of expertise in the assessment and modelling of closed pipeline systems across water, wastewater and petrochemical industries, the business continues to shape solutions for clients across the UK and worldwide.
The role combines office-based hydraulic modelling and analysis with on-site investigative fieldwork. Approximately 60% focuses on technical analysis: conducting steady-state and transient hydraulic studies, building and calibrating mathematical models using site survey data combined with GIS and LIDAR outputs, undertaking computer simulations for root cause analysis and what-if scenario testing, and interpreting recorded field data to assess asset performance. The remaining 40% involves on-site hydraulic surveys and data acquisition work, where you will implement and install pressure and flow monitoring equipment, collect field data from pipeline networks and pumping stations, and conduct daily monitoring of real-time data from remote condition monitors to identify and diagnose abnormal system behaviours.
This work underpins the production of technical reports, method statements, risk assessments and clear engineering recommendations that shape operational and investment decisions. You will be client-facing from an early stage and supported by experienced mentors within the engineering team.
Their site-based work involves installing and monitoring hydraulic equipment across water and wastewater assets. Full training will be provided in health and safety compliance and specialist equipment operation. A full UK driving licence is essential, and occasional travel is required (typically working in pairs with the team).
This position would suit someone with strong numerical capability and practical experience in hydraulic modelling, surge analysis, or water network analysis. Experience with hydraulic analysis software, data interpretation, and technical reporting is important.
This role will particularly appeal to someone motivated by delivering tangible results within defined project timeframes. Unlike longer-term network modelling projects, these investigations typically run over 6-8 weeks and directly influence significant cost decisions for clients-often identifying solutions that deliver multi-million pound savings or confirming the need for infrastructure upgrades. The combination of rapid analysis, clear recommendations, and visible client impact provides immediate satisfaction and measurable business value.
A numerical degree is essential; prior experience within the water industry is desirable but full technical training will be provided. Strong numerical reasoning and attention to detail are considered essential attributes.
The company offers a flexible and supportive working environment with core working hours from 10am to 4pm. Hybrid working is encouraged, allowing you to balance office-based analysis with on-site fieldwork. The culture is professional yet relaxed, fostering both technical excellence and personal wellbeing. Professional development is actively supported-while chartered engineer status is not essential, the company will support those wishing to pursue professional qualifications. Additional benefits include free parking at the Leeds office and a generous pension scheme.
