Civil Design Engineer - Water & Infrastructure Projects

Want to See Your Designs Make a Real-World Impact?

Join a growing multidisciplinary engineering business where your civil designs won't simply sit on a drawing board. They'll help shape and enable critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the UK.

We're looking for a proactive and technically strong Civil Design Engineer to join CHG Electrical
, supporting the design and delivery of civil engineering solutions across clean and dirty water treatment sites.

Working alongside mechanical, electrical and wider engineering specialists, you'll develop everything from below-ground structures and foundations to site layouts, ducting, chambers and temporary works, ensuring designs are practical, buildable and ready for successful delivery.

If you've built your civil design experience within water, utilities or infrastructure and want greater project exposure, collaboration and progression, we'd love to talk.

Full Time | Permanent

Flexitime | 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays | CPD & Training

Founded in Sheffield in 2004, CHG Electrical has more than two decades of engineering heritage.

Built on strong electrical engineering foundations, the business has evolved into a multidisciplinary engineering partner delivering complex projects across water utilities, rail, steel and manufacturing.

Today, our capabilities span MEICA, EICAT, civil engineering, control-panel design and manufacture, automation, software and digital transformation. We support projects from initial design through installation and commissioning to long-term maintenance, combining practical, hands-on engineering experience with modern technology and intelligent thinking.

Throughout that evolution, the principles behind CHG have remained consistent: technical excellence, exceptional quality, safe delivery and trusted long-term relationships.

It's this proven heritage, combined with our ambition to keep innovating, that enables us to deliver reliable, future-ready solutions for some of the UK's most important infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to play an important role within CHG's growing design capability, developing civil engineering solutions that enable the successful construction and installation of MEICA equipment across water and wastewater infrastructure.

You'll work across the project lifecycle, developing detailed designs and calculations, supporting constructability and risk reviews and working collaboratively with internal engineering teams, external consultants, suppliers and site teams.

The role goes beyond producing drawings.

You'll consider how your designs will actually be constructed, how they integrate with mechanical and electrical systems and how they can deliver safe, sustainable and cost-effective performance throughout the asset lifecycle.

You'll also have the opportunity to support high-profile AMP and utility infrastructure schemes while continuing to develop your technical expertise within a growing multidisciplinary engineering team.
