Senior Engineer - EICA Wide

We are looking to strengthen our engineering team with a Senior EICA Engineer based at a suitable location within the UK, flexible working available

Are you a Senior EICA Engineer ready to help power the systems behind safer, smarter water infrastructure?

At MWH Treatment, our EICA engineers are central to designing the electrical, instrumentation, control and automation solutions that keep critical water and wastewater assets running safely, efficiently and sustainably.

We are looking for a Senior EICA Engineer to lead technically robust design work, influence project delivery and help shape practical, buildable solutions across major treatment projects.

• Lead EICA design tasks and packages to agreed technical standards, budgets and programmes.
• Develop electrical, instrumentation, control and automation layouts that are practical, cost-effective and suitable for construction, commissioning and long-term operation.
• Review and assure EICA technical outputs within your area of authority.
• Coordinate EICA designs with process, mechanical, civil, digital and commissioning teams to support smooth project delivery.
• Provide technical input on control systems, MCCs, ICA equipment, electrical distribution, telemetry, automation and associated water industry assets.
• Identify design risks, maintain clear technical records and contribute to safe, compliant and right-first-time delivery.
• Mentor junior engineers, graduates and apprentices, sharing specialist EICA knowledge across the team.
• Build strong working relationships with clients, discipline leads, suppliers, subcontractors and site teams.

• Strong experience in EICA design within water, wastewater, process, utilities or a similarly regulated engineering environment.
• Good understanding of electrical distribution, motor control centres, instrumentation, control systems, automation and associated design standards.
• Appreciation of automated control systems, PLC/SCADA interfaces, telemetry and commissioning requirements.
• Ability to produce and review practical, economic and buildable EICA design solutions.
• Experience leading, checking or mentoring engineers within an EICA or related engineering discipline.
• Membership of a professional institution, ideally Chartered or working towards Chartership.
• Relevant engineering qualification, ideally an electrical, control, instrumentation or automation engineering degree, or minimum HND in a relevant discipline.
• Knowledge of current wiring regulations, including 18th Edition, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent competence.
• Ability to present technical proposals clearly, confidently and commercially.
• Computer literacy and a full UK driving licence.

At MWH Treatment, EICA is more than a support discipline; it is central to how modern water and wastewater assets perform. You will have the opportunity to influence critical infrastructure projects from concept through delivery, working with talented multidisciplinary teams to create safe, resilient and intelligent solutions for clients and communities.

Work on technically varied EICA challenges across major water and wastewater treatment projects.

Help deliver smarter, safer and more resilient infrastructure through control, automation and digital engineering.

Join a collaborative design-and-build environment where EICA expertise is valued from the earliest project stages.

Develop your career through mentoring, professional development and exposure to complex multidisciplinary  part of a business focused on safety, sustainability, innovation and doing the right thing for customers, communities and the environment.
