  • Act as a senior client-facing technical lead, running workshops and design reviews, advising clients, and building long-term relationships with regulated water stakeholders
  • Provide design assurance and technical support during delivery phases, including reviewing contractor submissions, answering design queries, and supporting handover/commissioning activities when required
  • Grow the civil capability through business development and work winning: identify opportunities, shape scopes, contribute to bids, and build a healthy forward pipeline
  • Help translate the UK water growth strategy into practical actions: target sectors, priority accounts, capability gaps, and delivery plans focused on treatment
  • Build the civil arm of the UK water consultancy team through recruitment, mentoring and skills development, including pathways, coaching and technical governance
  • Work with the wider business to evolve new and improved service offerings, including sustainability-led and value-focused civil solutions

Requirements

  • Registered as a chartered engineer (CEng) or equivalent professional membership (e.g., ICE or similar)
  • Strong track record in the UK regulated water market, focused on municipal water and/or wastewater design
  • Demonstrated leadership across the design lifecycle: feasibility/optioneering, concept, outline and detailed design, plus support through delivery stages as the designer
  • Strong capability in civil design tools and digital workflows, such as Civil 3D, industry-standard drainage/hydraulic modelling software packages, GIS platforms and BIM-enabled delivery environments
  • Solid understanding of CDM designer responsibilities and sustainable design principles, with demonstrable experience contributing to low-carbon, practical engineering solutions within regulated infrastructure projects
  • Experience supporting projects delivered via frameworks, alliances and/or D&B models, including design review, technical query response, and design assurance
  • Confident client and stakeholder manager
  • clear communicator, comfortable presenting, and able to lead technical conversations with credibility
  • Evidence of BD/work-winning contribution (or strong demonstrable aptitude): opportunity shaping, bid inputs, client development, and service-line growth
  • People leadership experience: building teams, hiring and mentoring, and setting a positive, delivery-focused culture
  • You must have the right to work in the UK to be considered for this position
