About the role…
We are currently recruiting for Senior Technicians to join our UK wide Water Design Team. The positions are required to support our expanding Water Utilities workload and will typically involve providing designs for water and wastewater, infrastructure, and non-infrastructure projects as part of a multi-disciplinary design team. This includes design delivery at all stages, from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed designs for construction and commissioning.
The specific roles primarily support long-term frameworks with Northumbrian Water Group, Severn Trent Water, and United Utilities. There will be additional opportunities to work on other projects and frameworks across the UK for clients including Scottish Water and Edinburgh Airport.
This is a permanent position with a hybrid work model, ideally based in or around our offices in Glasgow, Durham, or Birmingham. Other locations or flexible working arrangements will be considered. Travel is required, so a full UK driving license is necessary.
