Role Context:

We are looking for an experienced stormwater professional who is passionate about improving the way stormwater and urban waterways are managed in our cities and communities. We want someone who sees stormwater not simply as something to drain away, but as a valuable resource that can contribute to greener, cooler and more liveable communities, while protecting and enhancing downstream receiving environments.

You will bring experience applying these principles in practice across greenfield and infill development, working with both government and development-sector clients. You will understand the relationship between urban development, stormwater runoff and waterway health, and be able to translate strategy and policy into practical, deliverable solutions.

You will work with Alluvium’s engineers, geomorphologists, scientists, strategists, planners and social scientists to develop integrated solutions spanning stormwater management, water-sensitive urban design and urban waterways.

A key focus will be finding practical ways to manage stormwater closer to where it falls - reducing runoff volumes and pollutant loads, increasing opportunities for reuse and passive irrigation, supporting urban greening, and protecting and restoring the ecological and community values of urban waterways.

The role is preferably based in Brisbane or Townsville where our core Queensland urban water and waterway teams are located. The role will work on projects primarily within Queensland, however, is also likely to work on projects in other geographic locations across eastern Australia and overseas.

We are not a hierarchical business so you can expect a high degree of autonomy and opportunity. You should be motivated by working in a team environment and be comfortable building relationships with like-minded professionals.

Successful applicants will have an opportunity to develop their professional skills in an organisation with an exceptional culture of creativity, respect and teamwork. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the leading engineers, applied and social scientists in Australia, who together deliver the highest quality work for high profile clients.

  urban waterway health
• Demonstrated experience developing and/or designing stormwater solutions (including bioretention, wetlands, detention
  basins, channel naturalisation for greenfield and infill settings
• Ability to take projects from strategy and concept development through to practical design and implementation
• An appreciation of how the management of our urban waterways and catchments can be improved and how you would like
  to contribute to this
• A willingness to contribute to a collaborative and values-driven work culture
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Well-developed project management skills
