Key responsibilities

  • Lead the development and review of drinking water treatment process designs from feasibility through to detailed design and construction support.
  • Prepare and oversee process calculations, mass balances, process flow diagrams, equipment specifications and technical reports.
  • Assess treatment technologies, including clarification, filtration, disinfection, chemical dosing, sludge handling and residuals management.
  • Interpret water quality data, identify treatment risks and recommend solutions that meet regulatory and operational requirements.
  • Provide technical input to project planning, cost estimates, risk assessments, procurement and commissioning activities.
  • Support site investigations, technical reviews, design assurance and resolution of construction or operational issues.
  • Develop strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, communicating complex information clearly.
  • Coach and mentor engineers and contribute to knowledge-sharing across the wider technical team.

About you

You will be a professionally qualified engineer, or working towards chartership, with a degree or equivalent qualification in chemical, civil, environmental or process engineering. You should have substantial experience in drinking water treatment, water infrastructure or a closely related regulated sector, together with a sound understanding of UK water quality legislation, industry guidance and health and safety requirements.
