We are looking to strengthen our engineering team with a Design Manger at the Peterborough office with hybrid working. You will Lead an engineering team to deliver design solutions for a programme of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sewage treatment works storm overflows, within the west of the region.
The East of England has unique rivers, wetlands and coastlines, yet it is classified as severely water stressed and faces drought and a degrading natural environment. This is due to a combination of a growing economy, the highest rate of new housing development in the UK, climate change and being a major agricultural producer.
As part of the role you will:.
Deliver a programme of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sewage treatment works storm overflows, with an approximate value of £100M.
Work collaboratively with the Water Recycling West Treatment Design Managers to develop holistic catchment (systems) based solutions. which prioritise addressing catchment / network issues and consider the impacts to the receiving water recycling treatment works.
Develop new ways of working and solutions that focus on delivering outcomes, rather than outputs, to reduce carbon and increase efficiency, using the PAS 2080 hierarchy:
Avoid – optimise current systems and assets, such as sewer relining and pumping station operations.
Switch – nature-based solutions and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to remove surface water from the combine...
