Our current AMP7 frameworks have been rolled over into AMP8 (to 2030), securing our place in the region for many years to come.

You'll be joining our long-established civils and MEICA team in the Midlands, working solely on water projects for our prestigious client Severn Trent Water throughout the South Birmingham, Worcester and Gloucester region.

• Ability to analyse and interpret data to analyse problems and find solutions.
• Provide process and control expertise for delivery teams within UU framework

What you'll need :

• Experience of installation & wastewater commissioning in the utility sector
• Experience with planning the commissioning process cradle to grave
