Senior and Engineer levels also considered.
About the role:
A Principal Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for the delivery of the mechanical design content of water industry projects, whilst leading a multi-disciplinary design team. Operating under hybrid working arrangements, much of your time will be spent working in your own space, though we do require that you are available to work in person with the other discipline team members in your assigned office as and when the situation dictates. Generally, this will be in the order of 2/3 days per week.
Projects will typically include water and wastewater; infrastructure and non-infrastructure works design. This will include design delivery at all stages, from feasibility and optioneering through to detailed designs for construction, determining the best solutions for pumping stations, treatment works, mechanical screening, chemical dosing systems, sludge handling systems etc. and the production of detailed mechanical design packages for construction.
Duties will typically include the delivery, management and co-ordination of design outputs produced by the local team and engineers from other water design offices and be responsible for the issue of those outputs either internally or to clients to agreed time, cost and quality metrics.
Develop effective concept design solutions that are consistent with the project brief.
