• Supporting the design of pipelines, including pressure and gravity systems, open channels and closed conduits.
• Producing technical sketches and contributing to design development and modelling.
• Supporting projects from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design and construction.
• Using CAD and relevant engineering software to support design and modelling activities.
• Assisting with design risk assessments and ensuring appropriate risk management is considered throughout the design process.
• Supporting the preparation of Pre-Construction Information and Health & Safety documentation.
• Assisting with site surveys, site investigations and topographical survey requirements.
• Working with contractors, specialist suppliers and other disciplines to resolve technical queries and support project delivery.
• Contributing to quality assurance and ensuring designs comply with relevant standards and requirements.
• Monitoring design progress against programme, cost and quality requirements.
• Identifying opportunities for innovation and more efficient ways of working.

The role will also involve developing strong relationships with clients, operational teams, contractors and colleagues across different disciplines.

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about developing their career in civil engineering and has a genuine interest in the water and wastewater sector.

You'll ideally have:

• A BEng, MEng or MSc in Civil or Structural Engineering, with a minimum 2:2 degree classification.
• Knowledge of structural calculations for concrete structures such as slabs, beams and liquid-retaining structures.
• An understanding of British Standards, Eurocodes and relevant industry guidance.
• Experience or knowledge of civil engineering design within the water and wastewater industry.
• Competence using Microsoft Office and relevant engineering software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Robot, STAAD Pro or TEDDS.
• The ability to produce clear technical sketches and communicate design ideas effectively.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
• Good analytical and report-writing skills.
• A willingness and enthusiasm to learn and develop.
• Working towards Chartered Engineer status through an appropriate professional institution, such as the Institution of Civil Engineers or Institution of Structural Engineers, would be desirable.

Why join us?

This is an excellent opportunity to start your career within a collaborative engineering environment, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of water and wastewater projects.

You'll work alongside experienced technical professionals, develop your design capability and have the opportunity to contribute to projects focused on creating safe, resilient water supplies and protecting the natural environment across the East of England.
