  • Collaborate on water and wastewater infrastructure design projects.
  • Use the relevant Quality Management Systems and ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations, especially CDM.

About you:

  • Relevant degree or technical qualification (HNC/HND) through apprenticeship or formal learning.
  • Experience in water/wastewater infrastructure design is highly desirable, but we also welcome applicants from other civil engineering backgrounds who are keen to learn.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and other related engineering software.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise reports.
  • A dedicated team player with a client-focused approach and a drive for continuous improvement.
