Across the entire business we’re building on top of what’s already been a highly successful period of growth. Our strategy within the Water division for 2025 and beyond is creating a number of new exciting opportunities across the business.

We partner with the top water clients across the south region and the UK, work on some of the largest, most iconic water projects in the industry and promise to design with community in mind by reducing environmental impacts and improving social impacts. We enable the delivery of sustainable development and infrastructure projects that adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.

Within the High Wycombe, London and Reading teams, we support our clients in delivering projects across Water and Wastewater treatment, Water and Wastewater networks, Storm Water overflows and urban drainage. We have a diverse and challenging pipeline of work across the project lifecycle from asset planning and strategy, to concept, outline and detailed design.

Our partnership with contractor partners gives us the opportunity to work on major Design and Build projects. Our team also supports colleagues across the country, becoming part of a UK‑wide team and redefining our landscape with sustainability, the environment and having the communities we serve at the heart of everything we do.

You will be degree qualified (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering or a relevant subject. Ideally, you have achieved or are close to achieving a professional qualification (e.g. as a Charted or Incorporated member) with a relevant body such as ICE or CIWEM.
