Job Description

Who are we?

Within the @one Alliance, we are a collaborative organization comprising eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO) and our extended supply chain. We deliver over half of Anglian Water's capital investment program.

We are preparing for AMP8, our most ambitious Asset Management Period yet, focusing on nature-based solutions such as wetlands and urban drainage schemes. We aim to set global benchmarks, improve the environment, and provide growth opportunities for our workforce. We are expanding our teams to support this exciting phase.

With a portfolio of innovative projects planned for AMP8, our success depends on effective work management and exceeding customer expectations. We seek a Lead Infrastructure Engineer in our Water Recycling (Infrastructure) team, specializing in wastewater infrastructure (pipelines).

What will you be doing as our new Lead Infrastructure Engineer?

You will provide technical reviews, guidance, and support for potable water and water recycling infrastructure projects, ensuring designs meet standards and legislation. You will report to both the Senior Design Manager (Engineering) and the Principal Infrastructure Engineer, supporting engineering delivery teams by reviewing project deliverables.

You will be a technical expert in either clean or wastewater pipeline engineering, maintaining standards and fostering continuous improvement. Additionally, you will mentor junior engineers and contribute to innovation and best practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Design and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
• Partner with Principal Engineers to improve design calculations, standards, and products.
• Review drawings, calculations, and change requests for compliance and quality.
• Lead design review meetings and contribute to safety and commissioning strategies.
• Ensure quality through Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows and support discipline engineers.
• Promote innovative technologies, manage technical knowledge, and adhere to standards.
• Mentor engineers to develop skills and establish procedures.

Skills, Experience, and Behaviors:

Ideally, you will have a degree in water/wastewater engineering or a related field, with proven expertise in designing potable and wastewater pipelines, quality assurance, and risk management. Familiarity with design software is preferred.

You should possess strong communication, stakeholder management, leadership, and mentoring skills. This role is about providing technical leadership across projects, not delivering individual projects. If you seek to advance your engineering career, apply today!
