Our client is a forward-thinking, welcoming and diverse specialist consultancy, working on high-profile critical infrastructure projects across sectors as important as water resilience, defence & transport. They empower their engineers, and trust them enough to offer genuine hybrid working - spend productive, collaborative time with your colleagues and the client team; visit the projects to see your ideas taking shape; work from home when that helps you be more productive.
Imagine taking a project from a blank page all the way through to a fully engineered solution that improves how communities access clean, reliable water. That's the heart of this role. You'll join a team that cares deeply about designing smarter, more sustainable systems - and you'll have the freedom to bring your ideas to life.
You'll spend your time developing mechanical designs for both clean water and wastewater projects, moving confidently between concept development and detailed design. Your work won't just sit on a screen: you'll see it realised on site, where you'll support teams with technical input and ensure the designs translate into practical, quality outcomes.
Collaboration is a big part of how we work. You'll find yourself regularly partnering with project managers, engineers from other disciplines, JV partners, and clients - keeping everyone aligned and making sure interfaces are managed smoothly. You'll also have the chance to review bids and subcontractor designs, helping shape the technical direction of each project.
As you grow with us, you'll naturally play a role in supporting others too. Mentoring junior engineers, offering guidance, and helping them develop their careers is something we value highly. Alongside this, you'll keep a steady hand on budgets, schedules, and quality, ensuring the projects you're responsible for stay on track and deliver exactly what they should.
We're looking for someone who has a degree in Mechanical Engineering - or something closely related - and who brings a genuine interest in the water sector. If you've already worked on clean water or wastewater projects, even better. A good understanding of design principles, equipment selection, and treatment processes will help you hit the ground running. You'll also be familiar with CDM, procurement, and document control, and comfortable communicating clearly with both colleagues and clients.
If you're professionally registered (IEng or CEng MIMechE), that's a great advantage, and experience in leading or mentoring others would be a real bonus. Most importantly, you'll be someone who stays enthusiastic, adaptable, and self‑motivated, even when the pace picks up.
This is a role for someone who wants to make a visible impact - someone who's excited by the idea of helping deliver water solutions that will benefit communities for generations.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to have a conversation.
