Who are we?

The @one Alliance is a collaborative partnership between eight industry leaders – Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO – along with our extended supply chain. Together, we deliver over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

As we prepare for AMP8 – our most ambitious and innovative asset management period yet – we’re growing our team to meet the challenge. With a focus on sustainability, digital transformation, and engineering excellence, there’s never been a more exciting time to get involved.

Your role

We’re seeking a knowledgeable and driven Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and technical delivery of mechanical systems across water and water recycling (non-infrastructure) projects. In this senior role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that engineering solutions are technically sound, efficient, sustainable, and aligned with project goals.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading mechanical design activities across a portfolio of projects, from initial feasibility through to detailed design and delivery support.
• Producing and reviewing technical specifications, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.
• Coordinating closely with project managers, multidisciplinary teams, suppliers, and contractors to achieve integrated project outcomes.
• Supporting hazard studies, design reviews, and safety assessments such as HAZOP and HAZCON.
• Driving innovation by adopting digital design tools, promoting offsite construction, and contributing to decarbonisation efforts.
• Providing support during construction and commissioning phases, resolving technical queries and ensuring buildability.
• Offering technical leadership to junior engineers, reviewing their work, and helping them develop their skills.
• Feeding into continuous improvement and technical governance processes, sharing lessons learned and best practice.
  
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a related discipline); Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status is desirable, or working towards it.
• Strong experience delivering mechanical design within the water, utilities, or infrastructure sectors.
• In-depth knowledge of mechanical systems, UK design codes, CDM regulations, and health and safety requirements.
• Competence in using CAD and other design tools (e.g. Autodesk Plant 3D, or similar).
• A collaborative mindset, with experience working in multidisciplinary environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical detail clearly and confidently.
• A problem-solving approach with a drive to innovate, improve efficiency, and embed sustainable thinking.
  
  
  

Why join us?

At the @one Alliance, you’ll be part of a genuinely collaborative environment where your voice is heard, your ideas are encouraged, and your growth is supported. Working on projects that directly impact communities, you’ll help to build a resilient and sustainable water network for the future.
