As we prepare for AMP8 – our most ambitious and innovative asset management period yet – we’re growing our team to meet the challenge. With a focus on sustainability, digital transformation, and engineering excellence, there’s never been a more exciting time to get involved.
Your role
We’re seeking a knowledgeable and driven Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and technical delivery of mechanical systems across water and water recycling (non-infrastructure) projects. In this senior role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that engineering solutions are technically sound, efficient, sustainable, and aligned with project goals.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading mechanical design activities across a portfolio of projects, from initial feasibility through to detailed design and delivery support.
* Producing and reviewing technical specifications, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.
* Coordinating closely with project managers, multidisciplinary teams, suppliers, and contractors to achieve integrated project outcomes.
* Supporting hazard studies, design reviews, and safety assessments such as HAZOP and HAZCON.
* Driving innovation by adopting digital design tools, promoting offsite construction, and contributing to decarbonisation efforts.
* Providing support during construction and commissioning phases, resolving technical queries and ensuring buildability.
* Offering technical leadership to junior engineers, reviewing their work, and helping them develop their skills.
* Feeding into continuous improvement and technical governance processes, sharing lessons learned and best practice.
What we’re looking for:
* A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a related discipline); Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status is desirable, or working towards it.
* Strong experience delivering mechanical design within the water, utilities, or infrastructure sectors.
* In-depth knowledge of mechanical systems, UK design codes, CDM regulations, and health and safety requirements.
* Competence in using CAD and other design tools (e.g. Autodesk Plant 3D, or similar).
* A collaborative mindset, with experience working in multidisciplinary environments.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical detail clearly and confidently.
* A problem-solving approach with a drive to innovate, improve efficiency, and embed sustainable thinking.
Why join us?
At the @one Alliance, you’ll be part of a genuinely collaborative environment where your voice is heard, your ideas are encouraged, and your growth is supported. Working on projects that directly impact communities, you’ll help to build a resilient and sustainable water network for the future.
