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, which 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 such as wetlands and urban drainage schemes. We’re driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, while offering enhanced growth and development to our workforce.

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 projects. You will provide design support for numerous infrastructure schemes, ensuring all designs are fit for purpose and meet current legislation and standards. You will report to both the programme area Senior Design Manager (Engineering) and the Principal Infrastructure Engineer, and support the engineering delivery teams by reviewing and accepting key project deliverables such as drawings, models and calculations across an entire programme area for infrastructure‑related work.

You will be the technical expert in either clean or wastewater pipeline engineering design, maintain engineering standards across the alliance, champion continuous business improvement, and mentor junior engineers in their professional development.

• Collaborate with Design Managers and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
• Collaborate with Principal Engineers to improve design calculations, design standards and standard products.
• 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 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.

Ideally you are a degree‑level graduate in water or wastewater engineering or a related subject, with a proven track record of operating as a technical expert in the design and quality assurance of potable and wastewater pipelines, including familiarity with design software processes. Strong communication, stakeholder management and leadership skills are essential, as is the ability to mentor and develop high‑performing teams.

The role of the Lead Infrastructure Engineer is not to deliver individual named projects but to provide technical leadership and support in the delivery of the projects in the relevant portfolio.
