SLR’s Engineering & Design team is looking to recruit an experienced engineer and project manager to focus on the development of waste management infrastructure, specifically waste transfer stations, depots, HWRCs and MRFs, with opportunity to be involved in wider treatment support (e.g. AD, EfW). If successful, you will provide input and support on a wide range of interesting and challenging projects including new and innovative technologies as part of an established team that continues to excel in the sector. The waste industry is in an exciting period of growth – legislative change and the challenges of redeveloping aging assets while maximising performance and value for money means that there is a growing need for the provision of technical consultancy support to assess existing capabilities and recommend future direction of travel. We work across our process engineering, civils and structural engineering, and sustainable waste management teams to provide our clients with a one-stop-shop from first concept through to full operation. This end to end understanding of services and infrastructure impacts allows us to support clients to develop flexible and future proofed waste management solutions. SLR has an in-depth understanding of the waste, recycling and recovery industries and the challenges our clients face, delivering real change in an expanding and sustainable industrial sector. We are logical thinkers with the capability to look at problems from various angles and develop innovative, practical, cost-effective solutions. You will form a key part of the team and help build data and information into knowledge and understanding.
We are seeking an ambitious individual, with a proven track record in working on projects for private and public sector clients across the resource and waste management lifecycle, with a focus on waste infrastructure development, and an existing network of contacts (clients, equipment suppliers and installers) that will support the continued growth of the SLR team. You will be a Process or Civil Engineer, typically with an engineering (i.e. chemical / mechanical) related qualification or similar, and have experience of working in waste management or another related industry with knowledge of site operations, emerging technologies, policy drivers, materials markets and materials / equipment specifications. Experience of leading engineering commissions from feasibility to commissioning, including services procurement, is desirable and experience of Project Management would be an advantage. Competency in facility design and the technical review of various waste handling and treatment solutions, both for new and redesigned facilities, is required along with the ability to contribute to technical specifications and document drafting.
As well as providing technical input, the role will also include contributing to business development activities and supporting other specialists on waste, waste water and recycling projects. If appointed, you would be involved in the team’s wide range of projects including a number of major headline-grabbing projects developing regional waste infrastructure and advanced technological solutions to resource management. The successful candidate will report to an experienced engineer with waste management expertise and will work alongside other engineering and technical disciplines. SLR has a strong global presence across our range of operations. Whilst being based in the UK there are also opportunities to support SLR’s other regions across the world. This role will provide an excellent opportunity to develop your career in an experienced team of engineering professionals.
