About the Role: Our client, a major player in the UK water sector, is seeking Project Engineers to oversee the full life cycle of MEICA projects across several Thames Valley locations.

• Simultaneously manage up to 15 active projects, plus additional schemes in early planning stages.
• Develop innovative, modern solutions to operational challenges-enhancing efficiency and delivering measurable value.
• Lead on-site safety, inductions, and compliance-upholding a zero-compromise approach to health and safety.

• A background in engineering-mechanical, electrical, or civil-with formal qualifications encouraged.
• Ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders across internal teams and external partners.
• Self-motivated, highly organised, and able to manage projects independently with minimal supervision.
• Solid understanding of health and safety protocols, including Construction Design and Management (CDM) regulations.
• Project management experience is desirable.
• Prior experience in the water or utilities sector is beneficial but not essential.
