Principal​/Lead Civil Engineer

We are looking to strengthen our Engineering team in the @one Alliance with a Lead Infrastructure Engineer based at Peterborough or a suitable Anglian regional office, with hybrid working available.

You will report directly to the Senior Design Manager, providing civil and pipeline engineering technical reviews, guidance, and inputs to both clean water and water recycling infrastructure projects. Your role will include design support for numerous infrastructure schemes, ensuring all designs are fit for purpose and comply with current legislation and standards.

You will have dual reporting lines into both the programme area's Senior Design Manager (Engineering) and the Principal Infrastructure Engineer. Your responsibilities include reviewing and accepting key project deliverables (PCI; drawings/models; calculations) across an infrastructure (pipeline) programme area, providing technical expertise in clean or wastewater pipeline design, and supporting engineering standards across the @one alliance. You will mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership rather than delivering individual projects.

The role encourages innovation, promoting the development of standard design methods and fostering collaboration across the business to improve efficiency and drive continuous development in engineering and design.

Preferred qualifications include a degree in water/wastewater engineering or a related field, with proven experience as a senior discipline engineer, strong technical knowledge, project management skills, and familiarity with design software processes. Experience in designing potable and wastewater pipelines, sewerage systems, trunk water mains, and pressurised and gravity sewerage systems is essential.
