Surface water flooding is a serious problem with real impacts and consequences for our local communities and residents. Increasing demands placed on ageing and inadequate drainage systems through development and climate change is a growing concern.

You will support the Senior Engineer in shaping and developing an effective and successful SAB service, undertaking and reporting on technical plan assesments and site inspections. Applying a can-do attitude and approach to overcoming obstacles you will work in conjunction with other Council teams such Legal, Planning and Highways to achieve this. In return successful candidates can expect to be supported in developing their technical skills through formal training or self-directed learning where knowledge or skill set gaps important for the service role are identified.
