Major appointments such as Yorkshire Water’s Strategic Planning Partnership, United Utilities Design Development Partnership and Northumbrian Water’s Strategic Technical Partnership will provide a range of exciting challenges for our teams throughout 2025 and beyond.

As we continue delivering expert solutions to our clients, we are now seeking a Senior Process Engineer with a background in clean water process engineering to join the team.

Based from our Leeds or Manchester office, you will join a multidisciplinary team, with an active social calendar and a collaborative working environment. As a contributing member of our team of global experts, you will use your knowledge and experience to deliver innovative, sustainable, and efficient engineering solutions for our clients and the communities around us.

This will include optimising existing treatment works, developing solutions for emerging concerns such as PFAS, and addressing specific regulatory drivers including nitrate, taste and odour issues through catchment and or treatment interventions.

Role Requirements

3. Lead development of process design deliverables such as root cause analyses, optioneering slide decks and or reports, process models, mass balances and P&IDs.
