As we move into AMP 8 and continue with our growth plans across the UK & Ireland, we're interested in hearing expressions of interest from Design Managers (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or Process Engineering) who are looking for their next career opportunity in the coming weeks and months.
Multiple major framework wins have reinforced our pipeline of work and provide our teams with the opportunity to get involved with projects throughout feasibility, detailed design, and build phases. In the South, our recent appointments include Welsh Water's Engineering Consultancy Framework, Southern Water's Professional Services Framework, and South West Water's Engineering Consultancy Framework.
As a Design Manager, you will lead our strong multi-disciplinary Water team, delivering diverse and challenging projects for a range of Water clients. This role involves working closely with Project Managers to manage the technical team and taking responsibility for the delivery, efficiency, and quality of all technical output.
You will have the opportunity to work with some of the UK water industry’s largest clients, delivering designs that will shape the way we obtain, clean, and distribute water for our local communities, using innovative and sustainable methods.
Your wellbeing is important to us – we offer a hybrid way of working, allowing you to select from one of our many offices around the UK & Ireland and also have the option to work from home. Additionally, we will support your professional development by helping you gain extra qualifications or accreditations to advance your career.
About you
We are interested in speaking with candidates who are degree qualified (or equivalent) in a relevant subject with design management experience, ideally obtained within the water industry.
You’ll have a passion for the water and environment sector and supporting our developing civil engineers. You will also be experienced in successful project delivery and working collaboratively with project teams to develop innovative solutions.
Membership to a relevant engineering institution (e.g., ICE) and experience within construction, heavy civils, or other regulatory sectors would be beneficial but are not essential.
