Full job description

Do you have what it takes to transform society?

We are currently looking for a talented and motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our design team in Leeds as part of a multi-disciplinary department providing detailed designs for water related projects in the UK. This role can be worked flexibly with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office and the option of adjusted start and finish times.

Sweco have over 22,000 designers, engineers and consultancy experts across the UK and Europe and, together with our clients, we co-create solutions that address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation and make our societies more sustainable.

Our water teams have a global knowhow of industry leading technologies and are providing skills and inventive solutions across the full spectrum of lifecycle services in both water engineering and wider water management. These abilities are recognised by our clients, evidenced not least in our work on AMP8 Frameworks.

We’ll support you to continue to develop your technical expertise so that you can become a real difference maker and develop sustainable and innovative solutions to address these issues. You’ll join a growing team of Engineers working together towards the best client outcomes.

We are looking for individuals who can challenge conventional thinking and work collaboratively to meet a wide range of business, environment and regulatory challenges for these clients. The role offers an opportunity for successful candidates to broaden and diversify their expertise.

What does the role involve?

Leading the delivery of feasibility, optioneering, outline and detailed mechanical design packages for water and wastewater projects.
Producing and checking mechanical design deliverables including P&IDs, calculations, specifications, datasheets, schedules, procurement documentation and technical reports.
Taking responsibility for the technical quality and coordination of mechanical design outputs.
Acting as discipline lead on projects and coordinating activities with process, civil, and electrical teams.
Participating in design reviews, constructability reviews, hazard studies and ALMs.
Leading the identification, assessment and management of design risks and ensuring compliance with CDM requirements.
Providing technical support during procurement, construction, commissioning and handover phases.
Reviewing contractor and supplier submissions and responding to technical queries.
Developing effective relationships with clients, contractors, suppliers and key stakeholders.
Providing technical guidance, mentoring and development support to junior engineers.
Supporting business development activities, bid preparation and work-winning initiatives.
Ensuring design outputs are delivered in accordance with agreed scope, programme, budget and quality requirements.

To be successful in this role you will have:

A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
Chartered Engineer or Incorporated Engineer status with the IMechE.
Extensive knowledge and experience of mechanical design for the water industry.
The ability to work with engineers from all disciplines and other industry professionals to optimise and develop bespoke and innovative designs.
Experience in the delivery of water designs and specifications on water related projects for Water Companies, Contractors and industry.
An appreciation of the implications of works on the environment and knowledge of sustainable solutions, water and wastewater processes and health and safety legislation.

What’s in it for you?

This is an exciting time to join Sweco, and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this may be the job for you.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s transform society together!
