Senior Water Wastewater Design Engineer

Reference: 2c5s2cq1qwjd3yvsozu4

We are seeking a Senior Water Wastewater Design Engineer to lead the development and delivery of complex water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will involve managing technical design activities from concept through detailed design and construction support, while ensuring solutions are safe, sustainable, compliant, and commercially viable. You will work across a range of schemes, including water treatment, wastewater treatment, pumping stations, pipelines, reservoirs, drainage systems, and associated civil infrastructure.

Key responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings, and design risk assessments; developing innovative and practical engineering solutions; coordinating multidisciplinary design teams; and providing technical guidance to engineers and technicians. You will liaise with clients, contractors, regulators, and other stakeholders, attend design and progress meetings, support planning and consenting activities, and contribute to cost estimates, project programmes, bids, and business development. The successful candidate will also undertake design assurance, check deliverables, oversee construction-stage queries, and help ensure projects are delivered to applicable standards, quality requirements, budgets, and timescales.

You will hold a degree in civil, environmental, water, or a related engineering discipline and have substantial experience designing water and wastewater assets. Professional registration or a clear commitment to achieving chartered status is desirable. Strong knowledge of relevant technical standards, design codes, health and safety requirements, and environmental considerations is essential, together with experience using industry-standard design and modelling software. Excellent communication, organisation, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills are required. The ability to mentor less experienced colleagues, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of technical decisions will be highly valued. This is an opportunity to contribute to resilient infrastructure that supports communities and protects the environment.
