Advance TRS are delighted to be supporting a leading engineering consultancy as a preferred recruitment partner for the appointment of a Project Technical Lead within their growing Water Utilities team.

Our client is a well-established consultancy delivering major infrastructure and environmental projects across the UK and internationally, with a strong reputation within the water sector for technical excellence, innovation, and long-term framework partnerships.

About the Team

The Water Utilities division delivers a wide range of clean water and wastewater treatment projects across the UK and Ireland, supporting key investment programmes aimed at improving water quality, protecting the environment, and ensuring resilient infrastructure for future generations.

Their multi-disciplinary teams provide support across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and outline design through to detailed design and project delivery. This provides an excellent opportunity for engineers looking to further develop their expertise within clean water or wastewater treatment and work on technically challenging, high-profile programmes.

Overview of the Role

Following a recent major framework appointment, our client is looking to appoint a Project Technical Lead to support the delivery of a multi-disciplinary clean water programme of works. This opportunity would suit a Chartered Civil Engineer currently operating at Senior or Principal Engineer level who is looking to take the next step towards project leadership, client engagement, and project coordination responsibilities.

A strong background within clean water treatment or wastewater treatment projects is essential for this role, and candidates should be comfortable working within regulated UK water sector environments. The successful candidate will work closely with technical discipline leads and project teams to support the successful delivery of projects to programme, budget, and technical quality standards.

The role will involve coordination of design activities, reviewing technical outputs, and developing collaborative working relationships with both internal stakeholders and client teams. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience beyond technical delivery and gain further exposure to framework management, project leadership, and client-facing responsibilities within the UK water sector.

The role is expected to evolve alongside the framework requirements and the successful candidate’s own development goals. You will also have the opportunity to contribute towards innovative and sustainable engineering solutions while mentoring and supporting junior team members.

We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have hands-on experience delivering clean water treatment or wastewater treatment schemes, whether from a civil, process, or multi-disciplinary engineering background. Opportunities are available across several UK office locations, with preferred locations including Reading, Bristol, and Brighton. However, candidates based elsewhere will also be considered, as our client operates from a number of water sector offices across the UK.
