Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Water Recycling; Infrastructure

Who are we?

Here within the @one Alliance we are a totally collaborative organisation made up of our eight partner companies (Anglian Water, Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO) and our extended supply chain, delivering over half of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP8, this will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before. We’ll be embarking on a new kind of project delivery focusing on nature‑based solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes. We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce.

We’re looking to build on our existing teams with an environment built for career progression.

With such an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer’s expectations will come under greater scrutiny. And with a continued expectation to provide the highest standards of project design whilst ensuring we use innovation and creativity to deliver more with less, we are seeking a Lead Infrastructure Engineer in our Water Recycling (Infrastructure ) team with a technical focus on wastewater infrastructure (pipelines).

As the Lead Infrastructure Engineer, you will provide civil and pipeline engineering technical reviews, guidance and inputs to both potable water (clean) and water recycling (wastewater) infrastructure (pipelines / networks) projects. You will provide design support for numerous infrastructure schemes and will ensure all designs are fit for purpose and meet current legislation and standards.

You will have dual lines of reporting into both the programme area Senior Design Manager (Engineering) and the Principal Infrastructure Engineer and will provide support to the engineering delivery teams by undertaking review and acceptance of key project deliverables (drawings / models; calculations) across an entire programme area for infrastructure (pipeline) related work. You will be the technical expert in either clean or wastewater pipeline engineering design.

Working with the principal infrastructure engineer to maintain engineering standards across all of the @one alliance whilst working on continuous business improvement and innovation. You will also be responsible for mentoring more junior engineers in the team in their professional development and at project delivery level.

• Collaborate with Design Managers, and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
• Collaborate with Principal Engineers where potential improvement of design calculations, design standards and standard products could be implemented.
• Review project drawings, calculations, and change requests to ensure adherence to standards and timely responses.
• Coordinate and lead design review meetings and contribute to CDM and commissioning strategy discussions.
• Maintain quality through Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) workflow management and support discipline engineers to meet project timelines.
• Promote innovative technologies, manage technical knowledge, and adhere to MAS standards.
• Mentor and guide engineers to develop skills and establish standard procedures.

To join us on our exciting and challenging journey for engineering excellence, you will preferably (but not essentially) be educated to degree level in water/wastewater engineering or a related subject. Ideally you have a proven track record of operating as a technical expert in the design of potable and wastewater pipelines quality assurance and risk management, including familiarity with design software processes.

You’ll have strong communication and stakeholder management skills, and your proven leadership, and mentoring abilities will ensure the best high performing teams succeed.
