About the role…
As an Assistant Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering civil design content on water industry projects as part of a multi-disciplinary design team. The projects you work on will primarily focus on water and wastewater infrastructure and non-infrastructure design, covering all stages from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed construction design. Your responsibilities will include preparing detailed civil design packages, performing site visits, conducting design calculations, producing drawings, writing reports, and ensuring health and safety compliance throughout the project lifecycle. You will work closely with other engineers to determine the most effective solutions, delivering designs that meet both client requirements and regulatory standards.
This is a full-time permanent role and will be based at our office in Glasgow along with working from home on a hybrid basis.
