Providing day to day technical input as part of a team of engineers and technicians.
Ensuring design output is completed in accordance with the agreed scope of works, timescales and budgets.
Working in close collaboration with colleagues from other disciplines as required to deliver project requirements and added value to the Client.

To be successful in this role you will have:

Engineering, or equivalent, degree or be able to demonstrate a degree level of knowledge through relevant experience and be Chartered, or working towards, Chartered status
Experience of water-sector assets and capital projects is essential
Comfortable demonstrating your knowledge of all relevant regulations, standards, and codes of practice
Experience of leadership, mentoring and coaching of junior engineers
Strong stakeholder engagement skills

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.
