Seeking a Civil Design Engineer to support long-term water industry frameworks across the UK, including major programmes in water and wastewater treatment plant design, river health, sewerage infrastructure and wider asset upgrades. You will contribute to outline and detailed designs, construction-ready drawings and technical documentation for treatment works, pumping stations, rising mains, pipelines and site layouts.

Core Capabilities:

  * Technical design proficiency - Produce robust outline and detailed civil designs, calculations and construction documentation to UK standards for water and wastewater treatment plant and associated infrastructure.

  * Multidisciplinary coordination - Integrate civil inputs with structural, mechanical, electrical and ICA disciplines, contributing to coordinated design reviews and efficient delivery.

  * Client and stakeholder engagement - Translate client requirements into pragmatic design solutions and maintain clear, professional liaison with contractors, partners and internal teams.

  * Delivery and quality assurance - Manage design outputs to time, cost and quality targets, applying CDM requirements and robust assurance processes throughout.

  * People development and leadership - Mentor junior staff, share best practice and contribute to team capability, knowledge capture and continuous improvement.
