Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer to lead the planning, design and delivery of complex water, wastewater and drainage projects. This role will support clients and project teams across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and concept development through detailed design, construction support and commissioning. You will apply strong technical judgement to develop practical, sustainable and cost-effective solutions for treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, networks, storage infrastructure and associated civil works.
Key responsibilities include managing technical workstreams, preparing design reports, specifications, calculations, drawings and contract documentation, and reviewing deliverables to ensure compliance with relevant standards, legislation and project requirements. You will coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, contractors, regulators and other stakeholders, provide technical guidance to engineers and graduates, and contribute to inspections, risk assessments, design reviews and construction-phase support. The role will also involve preparing fee proposals, developing programmes and budgets, monitoring project performance, and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, resilience and environmental outcomes.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil, environmental or water engineering, together with substantial professional experience in the water and/or wastewater sector. Chartered or equivalent professional status is desirable, as is experience with design standards, hydraulic modelling, technical software and common industry contracts. Strong knowledge of treatment processes, water and wastewater networks, asset management and regulatory requirements will be highly valued. You should be confident managing priorities, communicating with technical and non-technical audiences, and building effective relationships with clients and project partners. A proactive approach, sound commercial awareness and a commitment to quality, health and safety, sustainability and professional development are essential.
