Principal / lead process engineer

We are looking to strengthen our Engineering team with a Principal / Lead Process Engineer based at our Anglian Water Region with hybrid working available.

You will report directly to the Head of Engineering and you will provide engineering technical direction to the discipline engineers in your area in either water or water recycling non‑infrastructure projects. You will provide design support for numerous non‑infrastructure schemes and ensure all designs are fit for purpose and meet current legislation and standards.

As our new Process Engineer in our Place-Based Thinking team, you’ll work in collaboration with the project design team to arrive at appropriate process solutions adopting the principles of optimised plant performance, use of standard designs and following @one engineering design standards.

Key responsibilities

• Undertake process design of wastewater solution and sewerage systems that achieve the goals of Anglian Water in terms of customer, environment, and efficiency. Be responsible to produce technical deliverables required, these include, but are not limited to:
  • Technical schedules and data sheets.
  • Engineering calculations (hydraulic calculations, pump calculations, mass balance calculation, RICS calculations, etc.).
  • Particular specifications for engineering subcontracts.
  • Working closely with the supply chain and performing technical bid analysis of their designs.
• Oversee key outputs including process calculations, hydraulics, unit processes, pump calculations, capacity calculations, data sheets and technical bid analysis of third‑party process equipment.
• Communicate effectively at all relevant levels to ensure that the need to deliver technical excellence is understood and implemented.
• Escalate issues that may impact on time/cost/quality before they become problems or exceed agreed timescales.
• Support the drive towards excellence in H&S, demonstrating applied knowledge and skills to produce safe designs to discharge your obligation according to CDM Regulations, standards, and accepted codes of practice.
• Maintain close links with other Engineering teams to ensure smooth interfaces between disciplines; manage gaps/overlaps and share best practice.

To join us on our exciting and challenging journey for engineering excellence, you'll be educated to degree level in wastewater process science/engineering related subject and have experience of process engineering in wastewater on large scale projects. With strong communication skills, you'll have excellent stakeholder management skills and champion collaboration to tackle challenges and obstacles which could hinder our objective of outperformance. Demonstrating strong IT skills, you'll marry your technical and people skills to deliver the best process engineering facility to your stakeholders on a regular basis.
