Job description

About the role

Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Water (Infrastructure) – Balfour Beatty (@one Alliance)

@one Alliance is a partnership of eight leading companies—Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO—delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme. As we enter AMP8, our most ambitious Asset Management Period, we are preparing to undertake our largest project yet. This is a unique opportunity to drive industry change, set global standards, and foster career growth.

We are seeking a Lead Infrastructure Engineer in our Water (Infrastructure) team with a technical focus on potable water infrastructure (pipelines).

As the Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you will provide civil and pipeline engineering technical reviews, guidance, and inputs to both potable water (clean) and water recycling (wastewater) infrastructure (pipelines/networks) projects. You will provide design support for numerous infrastructure schemes and will ensure all designs are fit for purpose and meet current legislation and standards.

What you'll be doing

Key responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Design Managers and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
• Collaborate with Principal Engineers to improve design calculations, standards, and products.
• Review project drawings, calculations, and change requests for compliance and timeliness.
• Lead design review meetings and contribute to CDM and commissioning strategies.
• Maintain quality through Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows and support engineers to meet timelines.
• Promote innovative technologies and adhere to MAS standards.
• Mentor engineers and develop standard procedures.

Who we're looking for

A little about your skills, experience, and behaviors…

• Preferably a degree in water/wastewater engineering or related field.
• Proven experience as a technical expert in potable and wastewater pipeline design, QA, and risk management.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

The role is to provide technical leadership across projects in the portfolio, not to deliver individual projects. If you're ready to lead and advance your engineering career, please apply today!
