Senior Engineer – Water/Wastewater

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Senior Engineer to contribute to the delivery of innovative water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will involve providing technical leadership across a varied portfolio, supporting the development of sustainable solutions that improve the resilience, efficiency and environmental performance of essential services.

You will work closely with clients, project managers, contractors and multidisciplinary design teams to take projects from feasibility and concept through to detailed design, construction and completion. The successful candidate will combine strong technical capability with commercial awareness, clear communication and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the technical delivery of water and wastewater engineering projects.
  • Develop and review designs, specifications, calculations, drawings and technical reports.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to graduate and less experienced engineers.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and manage interfaces between civil, mechanical, electrical and process design.
  • Work with clients and stakeholders to understand requirements, resolve issues and communicate progress.
  • Support project planning, risk management, cost control and the preparation of bids and fee proposals.
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant legislation, industry standards, health and safety requirements and environmental objectives.
  • Undertake site visits, inspections and technical assessments as required.

About you

You will hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil, environmental, water or wastewater engineering, together with significant experience in the design and delivery of relevant infrastructure projects. Professional registration, or demonstrable progress towards chartership, would be advantageous.

Experience of water or wastewater treatment, networks, pumping stations, asset management or hydraulic modelling would be highly relevant. You should be confident using appropriate engineering software and producing clear, accurate technical documentation. Knowledge of current UK standards, regulatory requirements and industry guidance is essential.

In return, you can expect varied project exposure, opportunities for professional development and a supportive environment in which your technical expertise can make a meaningful contribution to the future of water and wastewater services.
