They are able to draw upon a combined knowledge base of 20,000 experts across Northern Europe and have more technologies, more skills and more inventive solutions meaning they can apply global knowhow, locally across the full spectrum of lifecycle services in both water engineering and wider water management.

You will be involved in projects from conception to completion including supporting the Project Manager to clarify the project brief, agree deliverables, key milestones, project methodology, quality assurance and control strategy and establishing project checking and approval arrangements and managing internal project start-up meetings

The role required you to undertake significant elements of the detailed design and the checking of outputs as directed: eg calculations, drawings, sketches, reports etc to achieve the optimum solution for the project; assessing, documenting and communicating design changes to the Project Manager; being aware of work requirements and taking personal responsibility in delivering this to agreed time, cost and quality requirements; attending "close out meeting" and recommending/implementing improvements to policy, processes and project management methods.

To be successful in this role will be a Chartered Engineer status with a relevant institution (ICE or CIWEM) and have a comprehensive knowledge and experience of water and wastewater non-infrastructure design - including an understanding of the basics and the integration of multidisciplinary elements including process engineering and MEICA.
