GRS are working on behalf of a key client to recruit an experienced Project Engineer (Mechanical) to support the delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure schemes across the Thames Valley region, under a major UK water framework. This is an excellent opportunity for a mechanically-biased engineer who has experience in water or civil engineering projects, ideally working alongside Project Managers to deliver schemes from design through to commissioning. Role Responsibilities: * Oversee the mechanical elements across a portfolio of live water projects, working closely with designers, suppliers, and on-site delivery teams. * Coordinate the procurement of both on-site and off-site manufactured mechanical components, including prefabricated and modular systems. * Monitor progress of both fabrication and site installation to ensure work is delivered on time and within budget. * Carry out factory inspections and on-site quality audits to maintain high standards of delivery and customer satisfaction. * Contribute to building a positive team culture across projects, supporting wellbeing and collaborative working environments. Essential: * Background in mechanical or civil engineering with experience in water/wastewater projects. * Minimum SSSTS (SMSTS preferred). * CSCS card (appropriate to the role). * Relevant qualifications such as ONC/HNC in Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline. * Comfortable coordinating with multidisciplinary teams including commercial, design, and construction. * Strong communication, planning, and problem-solving skills. * Ability to manage workload across multiple live sites with shifting priorities and locations. * Competent with standard IT tools and project reporting software. Desirable: * Experience in both pre-production and on-site project engineering. * Knowledge of Lean Construction, MMC, Agile delivery, or Production Thinking principles. * First Aid at Work certification. This role will involve travel between various live project sites in and around the Thames Valley, so flexibility is essential. This is a long-term opportunity with significant potential for growth within a high-performing regional delivery team.
