Shape the Future of Water Infrastructure with Egis

• London | Bristol | Manchester (Hybrid)

Egis is expanding rapidly in the UK, backed by a global team of more than 20,500 experts across 100+ countries. We design and deliver intelligent, sustainable infrastructures that address climate challenges and strengthen community resilience. As part of our fast‑growing UK Water team, you will join an agile environment where progression is quick, visibility is high, and your impact is immediate.

• Lead the Electrical, Instrumentations, Control and Automation (EICA) Design of municipal water and wastewater treatment projects across the UK, covering feasibility, optioneering, concept, outline and detailed design across major programmes (e.g. AMP8, WINEP, SROs, etc).
• Set and uphold the EICA design approach for treatment work: in‑house standards (in line with water industry asset standards), checking, and consistency of outputs across projects and teams.
• Fulfil Designer duties under CDM 2015 for EICA systems, addressing hazardous area, electrical and control system risks and contributing to coordinated project‑level design risk management.
• Take ownership of the EICA scope within multidisciplinary delivery, driving clear decisions on operability, maintainability, access, and whole‑life performance.
• Lead and assure core EICA deliverables, including development and review of technical specifications, calculations, reports, control philosophies, user requirement specifications, schedules, network architecture drawings, and associated design documentation; support inspection, testing, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and commissioning activities for ICA systems where required.

• Act as a senior client‑facing technical lead, running workshops and design reviews, advising clients, and building long‑term relationships with regulated water stakeholders.
• Provide design assurance and technical support during delivery phases, including reviewing contractor submissions, answering design queries, and supporting handover/commissioning activities when required.

• Grow the EICA capability through business development and work winning: identify opportunities, shape scopes, contribute to bids, and build a healthy forward pipeline.
• Help translate the UK water growth strategy into practical actions: target sectors, priority accounts, capability gaps, and delivery plans focused on treatment.
• Build the EICA arm of the UK water consultancy team through recruitment, mentoring and skills development, including pathways, coaching and technical governance.
• Work with the wider business to evolve new and improved service offerings, including sustainability‑led and value‑focused EICA solutions for treatment assets.

• BEng/MEng (or equivalent) in Electrical and/or ICA‑specific Engineering.
• Registered as a chartered engineer (CEng) or equivalent professional membership (e.g., MIET or similar).
• Strong track record in the UK regulated water market, focused on municipal water and/or wastewater treatment.
• Demonstrated leadership across the design lifecycle: feasibility/optioneering, concept, outline and detailed design, plus support through delivery stages as the designer.
• Strong practical expertise in EICA design for water and wastewater infrastructure, including preparation and review of specifications, control philosophies, system architecture and instrumentation documentation; sound understanding of DSEAR and electrical installations in hazardous areas, with experience contributing to testing, commissioning, and multidisciplinary coordination.
• Working knowledge of UK water industry standards, regulatory expectations, and safety‑by‑design/CDM as applied to treatment facilities.
• Experience supporting projects delivered via frameworks,…
