Offer description

Reporting to the Framework Design Manager, you will be responsible for the design delivery of non-infrastructure wastewater projects within the Severn Trent Water AMP7 and AMP8 Frameworks. This role adopts a hybrid working model, splitting time between site offices (currently Barston) three days a week and home working two days a week.
You will bring experience from the water sector, specifically in non-infrastructure wastewater, with a background in Mechanical, Electrical ICA, or Civils disciplines across maintenance, design, or capital delivery roles. As a motivated team player, you will collaborate effectively with multiple teams to deliver carbon-efficient, production-focused design solutions.
Your role will encompass identifying design scope and deliverables, reviewing and challenging design programmes, managing design deliverables and changes, and ensuring design solutions meet affordability, buildability, and low carbon requirements. You will lead and record design meetings, workshops on buildability, carbon, and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), and coordinate design reviews, technical assurance, and CDM reviews.
You will implement and manage the project BIM strategy, support the framework's nominated principal designer, and maintain compliance with relevant legislation, particularly health and safety. Strong communication and professional relationship management with design, delivery, commercial, and employer teams are essential. You will also liaise closely with project teams to support procurement decisions and adhere to Costain governance for design management and project delivery.
