We’d love to hear from you if…

You have proven experience working as a Section Engineer or similar engineering role within the water and wastewater industry, with a strong understanding of construction delivery in a regulated utilities environment.

You’ll have good technical knowledge and be confident interpreting drawings and specifications, identifying technical issues and making sound engineering decisions relating to the delivery and safe operation of site activities.

You’ll also have strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate site teams, subcontractors, clients and stakeholders and keep activities moving when priorities change.

Commercial awareness is important, and you’ll be comfortable monitoring project costs, maintaining accurate records and providing regular updates to support effective financial control.
