• Prepare reports, drawings, and project documentation.

• Provide technical input during commissioning and handover stages.

• Experience in the water industry or similar infrastructure sectors (desirable but not essential if you have strong civils experience).

• Understanding of civil design principles for structures, pipelines, earthworks, or water‑related assets.

• Familiarity with design tools and standards (e.g., AutoCAD, Civils 3D, British Standards).

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

• Proactive, organised, and eager to develop your technical and project delivery capabilities.
