Do you have a passion for engineering and a drive to make a tangible impact? We're looking for Project Technical Leads to join our growing teams in Newcastle, situated along the picturesque Quayside (there are also opportunities to be based from our offices in Edinburgh & Glasgow). With AMP8 already in motion, this is your chance to shape the future of water infrastructure across the UK.

What You'll Do

As a Project Technical Lead, you'll be at the forefront of exciting water projects, leading multidisciplinary teams and coordinating both design and project delivery. You'll partner with top water clients, tackling challenges in areas like clean water treatment, wastewater networks, flooding, and urban drainage. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Leading project teams: Form and lead multidisciplinary project teams, coordinating design and project delivery from start to finish.
• Driving innovation: Identify and implement innovative, sustainable solutions in close collaboration with clients and technical experts.
• Ensuring excellence: Oversee the quality, compliance, and efficiency of project deliverables, ensuring best value and exceptional client service.
• Championing safety: Lead the design and implementation of principles to improve health, safety, and well-being outcomes in project design.

Our local design teams are involved in large partnership initiatives such as Grassholme's Reservoir Embankment & Johnson Street Storm Overflow Screening. While our primary focus locally is in working on Northumbrian Water's Strategic Technical Partnership, the team are also support frameworks further afield, such as Yorkshire Water's Storm Overflow Alliance and United Utilities' Design Development Partnership.

About You

We are looking for someone who has a passion for solving engineering problems, the ability to lead and inspire and the confidence to drive through challenging solutions.

You will have experience of working in a similar role within the water sector, or other relevant regulated industry.

You will also be a degree qualified (or equivalent) engineer and you will ideally be chartered, or a member of a relevant engineering institution e.g. ICE. Support can be given to achieve this if required.
