Job description

Overview

The Opportunity Are you looking to grow in a supportive team whilst making a difference for communities and the environment? Then talk to us about how you could fit into our wastewater process engineering practice. We’re looking for passionate and collaborative engineers to join our teams in Brighton & Southampton to deliver clean and wastewater solutions across the region.

About The Role From strategic resource options to advanced water treatment, new water for industry schemes and our work on Water for Life Hampshire, there’s opportunity for everyone spanning project drivers and delivery stages. As part of an integrated process community, there will be scope to work with every major utility across the UK. You’ll have the opportunity to be involved in all stages of project delivery, including support for frameworks through the offering of both wastewater and clean water consultancy services.

Your impact

You will play a key role in defining and driving process engineering deliverables, with opportunities to guide junior engineers as they shape solutions. You will be supported and mentored by internationally recognised industry experts based in the South who are focused on developing the next generation of process engineering leaders.

About You

You will complement our existing local community of Process Engineers by having:

• Experience in optioneering and developing outline design for solutions to clean and/or wastewater quantity and quality challenges.
• A collaborative mindset, taking time to support and guide more junior staff, and seek out subject matter expert advice where necessary.
• A curiosity about delivering lower whole life cost and carbon solutions than industry norms, with an eye on how future challenges might influence what we do today.

Detailed design experience is welcome, but not a prerequisite for this role as the majority of workload will centre on optioneering to outline design. Curious but unsure if and how you might fit? Get in touch to find out more.
