Technical Leader, Water Infrastructure

We are seeking an experienced Technical Leader to guide the delivery of complex water infrastructure projects and provide authoritative technical direction across multidisciplinary teams. This is an opportunity to influence the development of resilient, sustainable and cost-effective solutions that support communities and the environment.

Working across the full project lifecycle, you will lead technical inputs from feasibility and concept design through to detailed design, construction and operational support. You will collaborate with engineers, project managers, clients, contractors and stakeholders to ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest professional standards.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide technical leadership for water and wastewater infrastructure projects, including treatment, networks, pumping and associated assets.
  • Oversee the preparation, review and approval of technical reports, designs, specifications and calculations.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and promote consistent engineering standards, quality and innovation.
  • Identify technical risks, develop practical solutions and support effective cost, programme and constructability decisions.
  • Engage with clients, regulators, contractors and other stakeholders to understand requirements and communicate project outcomes.
  • Support bids, proposals, resource planning and the development of new technical capabilities.
  • Mentor and develop less experienced colleagues, encouraging knowledge sharing and professional growth.
  • Promote best practice in health and safety, environmental performance, sustainability and regulatory compliance.

About you

You will be a professionally qualified engineer with substantial experience in the water infrastructure sector, ideally holding Chartered Engineer status or working towards it. You will have a strong technical background, sound commercial awareness and a proven ability to lead teams and influence decisions in a project environment.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, alongside experience of relevant industry standards, legislation, design processes and assurance requirements. You should be analytical, collaborative and confident when presenting complex technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.

In return, you will have the opportunity to shape important infrastructure projects, contribute to a supportive professional environment and help deliver solutions that provide long-term value for customers and the wider community.
