We’re looking for a Design & Development Engineer to join our West region team at a pivotal time. With a major programme running through to FY29, this role will play a key role in defining and shaping early-stage CAPEX projects across our mechanical and civil plant portfolio.

This is a development-focused role with real progression, you’ll begin by driving early-stage project definition and optioneering, before evolving into a Design Coordination position, giving you exposure across the full project lifecycle.

What You’ll Be Doing

Early-Stage Project Development
Develop clear, evidence-based project scopes that define need, feasibility and outcomes
Carry out site surveys and analyse asset condition data to validate project drivers
Lead optioneering and feasibility activities to identify safe, value-led solutions
Work with estimation teams to produce costs, risks, assumptions, and programme impacts
Coordinate technical inputs across engineering, operations, and commercial teams
Incorporate supplier feedback and constructability considerations into early design
Design & Delivery Coordination (As Projects Progress)
Act as a Development Stage Design Coordinator
Manage and coordinate designers and technical outputs
Respond to Technical Queries (TQs) and ensure alignment across disciplines
Lead design meetings and maintain accurate documentation and decision records
Support smooth transition from development into detailed design and delivery

About you

Enjoys working at the front end of projects, shaping decisions early,
Is comfortable balancing technical detail with stakeholder engagement
Wants to grow into a design coordination role over time

Key Skills & Experience

Technical Knowledge:

Understanding of engineering principles within infrastructure, utilities, or asset-based environments
Knowledge of design standards, technical fundamentals, and CDM principles
Ability to interpret survey data, condition reports, and feasibility studies

Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
Excellent communication and stakeholder management
Well-organised with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and site activities
Ability to produce structured technical documentation (scope, risks, costs, assumptions)
Strong collaboration across multidisciplinary teams

Experience:

Experience within utilities, infrastructure, or operational engineering environments
Involvement in feasibility studies, surveys, optioneering, or early-stage project work
Working with engineering data and collaborating across multiple stakeholders

Qualifications:

Engineering degree or equivalent experience
Mechanical preferred, though other disciplines considered
Full UK driving licence (site travel required)

Why Join Us?

Work on a high-impact programme shaping investment through to FY29
Gain exposure across the full project lifecycle, from concept to delivery
Be part of a growing, collaborative and forward-thinking engineering team
Flexible working across the West region

10x salary life assurance
Long-term illness and income protection
Enhanced family leave policies
Ongoing professional development and career progression
Employee assistance programme (24/7 support)
Professional membership support
