Project Engineer - Water/Wastewater (Entry Level)
Project Engineer - Water/Wastewater (Entry Level)
We are seeking a motivated and technically minded Project Engineer to join a growing water and wastewater team. This entry-level opportunity is suited to a recent graduate or an early-career engineer looking to develop practical experience across the full project lifecycle, from initial design and planning through to delivery and completion.
Working alongside experienced engineers, project managers, contractors and clients, you will contribute to the delivery of infrastructure projects involving water treatment, wastewater treatment, pumping stations, pipelines and associated civil, mechanical and electrical works. You will receive structured support and mentoring while building your technical, commercial and project management skills.
Key responsibilities
- Assist with the preparation of technical reports, calculations, drawings, specifications and tender documentation.
- Support the planning, coordination and monitoring of engineering projects to ensure they meet programme, budget, quality and safety requirements.
- Review design information, construction proposals and contractor submissions, escalating issues where appropriate.
- Attend site visits, surveys, progress meetings and inspections, recording findings and helping to track actions.
- Maintain accurate project records, risk registers, schedules and change-control documentation.
- Work collaboratively with internal teams, clients, suppliers and contractors to resolve technical and delivery challenges.
- Keep up to date with relevant legislation, technical standards, environmental requirements and health and safety procedures.
About you
You will have, or be working towards, a degree or relevant qualification in civil, chemical, mechanical, environmental or a related engineering discipline. A genuine interest in the water and wastewater sector is essential, together with a willingness to learn and develop in a practical project environment.
You should possess strong communication and organisational skills, sound attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities. Familiarity with Microsoft Office and an interest in engineering design or project management software would be advantageous. Previous placement, internship, site or design experience is welcomed but not essential.
A full driving licence may be required, as the role can involve travel to project and client sites. In return, you will benefit from professional development, technical mentoring and the opportunity to work on projects that support resilient, sustainable water infrastructure.
