Following a number of successful frameworks bids across the water industry, and in preparation for the biggest AMP ever, we are expanding our amazing engineering teams across the country.

In Leeds, we are excited to have been selected on Yorkshire Water’s Storm Overflow Alliance, to deliver their AMP8 capital investment programme. As part of this exciting new delivery vehicle, we will deliver both outline and detailed design for projects to reduce spills from Combined Sewer Overflows. We will also continue to support Yorkshire Water as their Strategic Planning Partner throughout AMP8, providing outline design and strategic consultancy services to a large range of projects across their Clean/Waste Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure programmes.

This partnership affords us the opportunity to continue delivering cutting edge designs which can meet the complex challenges facing the water industry. This will drive us to continue innovating in order to deliver solutions which make a real difference in terms of carbon reduction, sustainability and serving our local communities.

In order to continue providing our clients with our expert service, we are looking to recruit a Senior Civil Engineer into our team in Leeds city centre – just a short walk from the train station! You will become part of a UK wide team, redefining our landscape with sustainability, the environment and the communities we serve at the heart of everything we do.

As a Senior Civil Engineer, you will work across the entire project lifecycle in asset planning, strategy, concept design, outline design & detailed design. You’ll take on responsibility for developing civil engineering designs, guided by our Principal Engineers & Design Leads, whilst also supporting & mentoring our more junior engineers.

About You

We are interested in speaking with passionate engineers with design experience within the UK water industry. You’ll hold a degree in Civil Engineering and ideally hold Chartered status with a relevant professional body such as ICE or CIWEM.

You will have gained experience delivering community focused projects, whilst working collaboratively with project teams to deliver innovative solutions.

We will support your growth & development through training & project exposure, though prior experience within storm overflows, SUDS, surface water management & sewage treatment would be beneficial.
