With in-house technical design, project delivery, off-site manufacturing and modular build capability, WGM offers the opportunity to work close to delivery and see how your design decisions translate into real site outcomes.

WGM Engineering has been delivering practical engineering solutions for more than 40 years and is experiencing significant growth across the UK water, utilities and essential infrastructure sectors. We combine in-house technical expertise, off-site engineering capability and a strong self-delivery model to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable outcomes for our clients.

• Manage defined civil design packages from concept through detailed design and construction support.
• Work collaboratively with Process, Mechanical, Electrical and Construction teams.
• Support site teams with technical queries and design-related problem solving.
• Apply relevant Eurocodes, British Standards, client specifications and CDM 2015 requirements.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to DfMA, standardisation and continuous improvement.

What you’ll bring

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
• Relevant experience in civil engineering design.
• Experience designing reinforced concrete structures and foundations.
• A good understanding of structural principles, Eurocodes and CDM 2015.
• The ability to produce design calculations and technical documentation.
• Strong communication, problem-solving and multidisciplinary working skills.
• A full UK driving licence.

Experience within the water or wastewater sector would be beneficial.

Experience of structural steelwork design, Tekla TEDDS, Revit, Civil 3D or similar software would also be advantageous.

Working towards professional registration with ICE, IStructE or another relevant professional body would be welcomed. Please note that WGM can support a path towards chartership.
