Competitive salary between £35,000 and up to £45,000 depending on experience.

The Peterborough facility has two functional areas: an engineering facility that designs and builds mobile water treatment equipment, and a plant that regenerates ion exchange resin and works with cutting-edge membrane technologies to provide mobile water treatment equipment for customers.

We are a friendly site, big enough to give you a good introduction to the corporate world, but small enough that you will know everyone you work with and understand the importance of building good working relationships.

Design Engineer
The Design Engineer will report to the Global Engineering and Asset Leader and operationally to the Team Leader. You will be responsible for key roles listed below in the Peterborough facility and global asset design engineering. Outgoing and interested in how things work, you will have a natural curiosity that prompts you to explore ways to work smarter, with a service-minded design approach, aiming for faster, better outcomes. This will be reflected in cost savings, smart solutions, quality, and on-time delivery.

Flexible and with great people skills, you won’t mind helping out with other tasks when busy, embracing an ‘all hands’ approach; you will understand early on that our customers matter to us.

You will spend your time across the office environment at the Peterborough site, in the plant/shop floor, with occasional site visits and customer meetings. You will work with our teams and develop your skills and confidence as you progress toward a Project Engineer role.

Key roles

• Develop 3D model designs in SolidWorks or AutoCAD and produce detailed fabrication drawings and reviews.
• Support design and project engineering of mobile assets, water treatment systems for build, own, and operate plants, and mobile fleet upgrades.
• Work closely with the design team to support drafting and develop designs.
• Material and equipment selection for designs, ensuring compliance with specifications and certifications.
• Manage customer deliverables for customer-facing projects.
• Use SAP business tools: Material Master, Inventory, Drawings, and BOM.
• Support Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), Quality, MOC engineering actions, and HAZOPs.
• Assist in finding suppliers and parts; conduct technical reviews of quotes.
• Support manufacturing engineering and drawing management on shop floors in Peterborough, Wuxi, Norfolk, Minnetonka, Guelph, and other locations.
• Provide extended support to the commercial engineering team, mobile project management team, and plant support teams.
• Train and coach engineering interns, new starters, and outsourced engineering staff.
• Conduct site visits and as-built surveys.
