Role Title: Apprentice Water Engineer
Start Date: September 2026
Location: Belfast

Your Role:

• Undertake engineering design (to EuroCode/BS)
• Provide technical assistance to the members of the Water Engineering Team
• Assist in the delivery of projects on time and to budget
• Work under the supervision of the Project Engineer(s) and the Design team leader
• Assist in design reviews and verification checks
• Undertake site visits and surveys
• Ensure compliance with all legislation, regulations and site procedures or instructions
• Liaise with clients, architects, contractors, statutory bodies and stakeholders

We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together- in offices or on site – to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work.

 
There is no 'one approach fits all' – each team manages their own way of working, we trust our employees and focus on outputs not inputs.

Meeting up with colleague and clients face to face in office environments or on site is important for collaboration, face-to-face meetings, appraisals and development.

Making everybody feel welcome at Tetra Tech is important to us – because everybody is welcome! We are working hard to be a business where everyone can be themselves but can celebrate who they are and what they bring to our organisation. If you have a disability, learning difficulty, medical condition or any other individual need, we'd be happy to talk to you about making reasonable adjustments to our application and selection process that will enable you to be your best.
