Lead Infrastructure Engineer

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, 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, supporting engineering delivery teams by reviewing and accepting key project deliverables (drawings/models; calculations) across an entire programme area for pipeline related work. You will be the technical expert in either clean or wastewater pipeline engineering design, work with the Principal Infrastructure Engineer to maintain engineering standards across the @one alliance, lead continuous improvement and innovation initiatives, and mentor junior engineers in their professional development and project delivery level.

• Collaborate with Design Managers and Technical Managers to track milestones and review dates.
• Collaborate with Principal Engineers to identify potential improvements of 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.

Preferably, but not necessarily, you are educated to degree level in water/wastewater engineering or a related subject. Ideally you have a proven track record as a technical expert in the design of potable and wastewater pipelines, quality assurance and risk management, and familiarity with design software processes. You bring strong communication and stakeholder management skills, and a proven ability to lead and mentor high‑performing teams.
