    You’ll have:

    • 2+ years’ experience in civil engineering design, ideally within water and/or industrial sectors
    • Exposure to projects such as water and wastewater treatment works, pipelines, pumping stations or related infrastructure
    • Experience preparing and checking high‑quality calculations, drawings and technical documentation
    • Working knowledge of British Standards and water industry standards
    • Familiarity with industry‑standard analysis and design software
    • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team‑focused approach

    Ideally, you’ll also have:

    • Working towards (or interested in attaining) Chartered Engineer (ICE) status
    • Exposure to design & build project environments
