# Water Network Analysis Engineer

- **Company:** Calibre Search
- **Location:** Andover, UK
- **Salary:** £38,000.0 - £50,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Network Analysis, Lidar
- **Published:** September 5, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5871326874

## About the Role

You'll need to be numerically strong and comfortable analysing data and solving engineering problems.
Previous experience within water network analysis, hydraulic modelling, surge/transient analysis or a similar area would be particularly useful, as would experience with hydraulic analysis software and technical reporting.
A numerical degree is essential. Water industry experience is desirable, but they are happy to provide specialist technical training where required.
You'll also need a full UK driving licence, as the position involves regular site work and travel. Site visits are typically carried out alongside another member of the team., If you enjoy hydraulic engineering, want a combination of technical and practical work and like the idea of getting involved in a new office from the beginning, this is well worth a conversation.

## Description

The position is roughly split 60% technical analysis and 40% site-based investigative work, giving you a good mixture of modelling, problem-solving and practical engineering.
On the analysis side, you'll work on live water and pipeline systems, carrying out steady-state and transient hydraulic studies, building and calibrating mathematical models and investigating how networks are actually performing.
You'll use information gathered from site surveys alongside GIS, LIDAR and recorded network data to run simulations, investigate problems and test different scenarios.
The interesting part is that the work doesn't disappear into a model and sit there.
You'll also get out onto site, working with pipeline networks and pumping stations to install pressure and flow monitoring equipment, collect real-world data and investigate abnormal system behaviour. Full training on the specialist monitoring equipment and associated health and safety requirements will be provided.
You then take that information back into the analysis, work out what is happening and help develop the solution.

Projects with a visible outcome
A lot of these investigations are relatively fast-moving, typically running over around 6-8 weeks, so you get to see the outcome of your work rather than spending years working on one long-term modelling programme.
The findings can have a significant impact on client investment decisions. Your analysis could identify an alternative solution that avoids unnecessary expenditure, uncover the cause of a network issue or demonstrate where major infrastructure investment genuinely is required.
Recommendations can ultimately influence multi-million-pound decisions, so there is a tangible link between the engineering you carry out and what happens next.
You'll also be involved in producing technical reports, method statements, risk assessments and engineering recommendations, with the opportunity for client contact as your experience develops.
