We also continue to support our clients across a large range of projects in their Clean/Waste Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure programmes.

These partnerships afford us the opportunity to continue delivering cutting edge designs which can meet the complex challenges facing the water industry.

In order to continue providing our clients with our expert service, we are looking to recruit a Senior Civil Engineer into either our Manchester city centre or Warrington (Birchwood) teams. 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.
