Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer/Manager
We are seeking a Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer/Manager to lead the delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects from concept through to completion. This is an opportunity for an experienced professional to provide technical leadership, manage multidisciplinary teams, and support the successful delivery of projects for public and private sector clients. The role will involve balancing technical excellence, commercial performance, programme requirements, and client expectations across a varied project portfolio.
Key responsibilities will include managing the design and delivery of water, wastewater, treatment, pumping, pipeline, drainage, and network infrastructure projects; preparing and reviewing technical reports, specifications, calculations, drawings, and feasibility studies; coordinating internal and external design teams; and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, standards, health and safety requirements, and environmental obligations. You will lead client meetings, contribute to project proposals and business development activities, manage budgets and resources, monitor project risks, and provide mentoring and technical guidance to engineers and other team members. The role may also include site visits, construction support, contract administration, and oversight of commissioning and handover activities.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, water, or wastewater engineering, with substantial experience delivering water-sector projects. Professional registration or chartered status is desirable, along with a strong understanding of water and wastewater treatment processes, hydraulic modelling, pipeline and network design, and relevant design and construction standards. Experience managing teams, budgets, programmes, contractors, and client relationships is essential. Strong communication, problem-solving, organisational, and commercial skills are required, together with the ability to work independently and collaboratively. A proactive approach, commitment to quality, and willingness to support the development of less experienced colleagues will be highly valued.
