Wastewater Design Engineer / Project Engineer

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Wastewater Design Engineer / Project Engineer to support the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will involve taking projects from initial concept through detailed design, construction and completion, while ensuring technical quality, safety, cost control and regulatory compliance.

Working collaboratively with clients, contractors, consultants and internal teams, you will provide practical engineering solutions for wastewater treatment, pumping, collection and associated infrastructure. You will be expected to manage multiple priorities, communicate clearly with stakeholders and contribute to the successful delivery of projects to programme and budget.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop and review wastewater designs, calculations, specifications, drawings and technical reports.
  • Manage design activities throughout the project lifecycle, from feasibility and optioneering to construction and commissioning.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary design interfaces, identifying and resolving technical issues promptly.
  • Support project planning, programming, cost estimation, risk management and change control.
  • Attend site visits, design reviews, progress meetings and technical workshops as required.
  • Provide engineering support during construction, including responding to technical queries and reviewing contractor submissions.
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant legislation, industry standards, health and safety requirements and environmental obligations.
  • Assist with commissioning, handover documentation and lessons-learned activities.

About you

You will be a qualified civil, mechanical or environmental engineer with proven experience in wastewater, water or related infrastructure projects. You should have a sound understanding of wastewater processes, hydraulic principles, asset design and construction methodologies, together with the ability to interpret technical information and make well-informed engineering decisions.

Experience using relevant design and project management software would be advantageous. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a wider project team. A proactive, organised approach and commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions are equally important.

What is offered

This role offers the opportunity to work on technically varied wastewater projects, develop your professional expertise and contribute to infrastructure that supports communities and the environment. A competitive package, ongoing development opportunities and a collaborative working environment are available.
