Bring your skills to the mix as a Principal Civil Water Engineer. You'll play a vital role in every aspect of water/wastewater treatment, storage, supply and collection systems on Transformational Programmes for critical UK infrastructure with opportunities to work on iconic engineering projects at home and abroad.

We specialise in all aspects of water treatment, within multiple challenging and engaging sectors, not just within the Water sector but also supporting our wider Infrastructure Division across Aviation, Defence, Energy, Cities & Development and Education. We continue to provide industry-leading engineering solutions right through the project lifecycle, with value added through client-side support as well as construction phases. If being a part of a team with a passion for this industry is for you then we would love to talk to you.

We currently have opportunities in our Bristol office.

Your Purpose:

• Lead a team to undertake technical design work following relevant design standards and codes, and to high-quality levels.
• Prepare briefs, scopes of work, and input into bid proposals.
• Successfully manage time and budgets to key project milestones and programmes.
• Work closely with teams in the UK and overseas to deliver integrated design solutions.
• Adhere to quality assurance standards in design.

What you can bring:

• Chartered Civil Engineer.
• Experience in leading design delivery, including multidisciplinary design.
• Knowledge of water and/or wastewater treatment, storage solutions, hydraulics, water supply and wastewater collection systems and familiarity with current UK design standards and working practices.
• Experience in designing within appropriate digital analysis packages, following local and national guidance (e.g., HADES, Infoworks, EPANET).
