The role will also involve developing strong relationships with clients, operational teams, contractors and colleagues across different disciplines.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about developing their career in civil engineering and has a genuine interest in the water and wastewater sector.

You’ll Ideally Have

• A BEng, MEng or MSc in Civil or Structural Engineering, with a minimum 2:2 degree classification.
• Knowledge of structural calculations for concrete structures such as slabs, beams and liquid-retaining structures.
• An understanding of British Standards, Eurocodes and relevant industry guidance.
• Experience or knowledge of civil engineering design within the water and wastewater industry.
• Competence using Microsoft Office and relevant engineering software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Robot, STAAD Pro or TEDDS.
• The ability to produce clear technical sketches and communicate design ideas effectively.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
• Good analytical and report‑writing skills.
