Role Overview

AECOM is seeking an experienced Senior Engineer
- Water to join its engineering team in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The role focuses on the design, hydraulic modelling, and delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure, including treatment, reclamation, and desalination projects. The successful candidate will lead technical activities, contribute to engineering and commercial proposals, and coordinate project execution from initiation through completion. The position requires practical expertise in gravity and pressurised pipeline networks, pumping stations, storage reservoirs, hydraulic analysis, and multidisciplinary infrastructure design.

Working with engineering specialists and project stakeholders, the Senior Engineer will develop technical solutions that meet client requirements, comply with relevant engineering standards, and support reliable water infrastructure development. Candidates should hold a Bachelor 's degree in Civil, Environmental, or Water Resources Engineering and have 5 to 8 years of relevant experience. Strong proficiency in hydraulic modelling software and familiarity with the design codes and standards of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) and TAQA are essential.

Candidates with previous engineering experience in Dubai and the wider UAE will be given preference.
