Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Sweco Full time

Join us to transform society.

We are currently looking for a talented and motivated Senior Civil Engineer to join our design team in Leeds as part of a multi-disciplinary department providing detailed designs for water related projects in the UK. This role can be worked flexibly with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office and the option of adjusted start and finish times.

Sweco have over 22,000 designers, engineers and consultancy experts across the UK and Europe and, together with our clients, we co-create solutions that address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation and make our societies more sustainable.

Our water teams have a global knowhow of industry leading technologies, and are providing skills and inventive solutions across the full spectrum of lifecycle services in both water engineering and wider water management. These abilities are recognised by our clients, evidenced not least in or work on AMP7 Frameworks with 7 out of the 12 UK water and sewerage companies.

We'll work with you to develop your technical expertise so that you can become a real Difference Maker and develop sustainable and innovative solutions to address these issues. You'll join a growing team of Engineers working together towards the best client outcomes.

We are looking for individuals who can challenge conventional thinking and work collaboratively to meet a wide range of business, environment and regulatory challenges for these clients. The role offers an opportunity for successful candidates to broaden and diversify their expertise.

What does the role involve?

Working within our water team on non-infrastructure projects, you will act as a Design Engineer and undertake and check the delivery of design solutions and associated outputs and the co-ordination with other disciplines. You will provide technical guidance, support and training to colleagues and assist, where practicable, in mentoring and the development of others.

You will be involved in projects from conception to completion including; supporting the Project Manager to clarify the project brief, agree deliverables, key milestones, project methodology, quality assurance and control strategy; establishing project checking and approval arrangements and managing internal project start-up meetings; undertaking significant elements of the detailed design and the checking of outputs as directed: eg calculations, drawings, sketches, reports etc to achieve the optimum solution for the project; assessing, documenting and communicating design changes to the Project Manager; being aware of work requirements and taking personal responsibility in delivering this to agreed time, cost and quality requirements; attending "close out meeting" and recommending/implementing improvements to policy, processes and project management methods.

You will also be involved in business development activities including assisting with the preparation of capability statements and the submission of pre-qualification questionnaires, expressions of interest and tenders as well as building new and maintaining existing client relationships to win new and repeat work.

What we're looking for from you:

  • Chartered Engineer status or working towards with a relevant institution eg ICE or CIWEM.
  • Strong interpersonal/team working skills, with a good working relationship with all levels of the organisation, clients and contractors together with the ability to communicate in a fluent and positive manner both verbally and written.
  • Comprehensive knowledge and experience of water and wastewater non-infrastructure design including an understanding of the basics and the integration of multidisciplinary elements including process engineering and MEICA.
  • Extensive experience in design, contract and tender preparation, tender assessment and contract administration.

What's in it for you?

This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we'd love to hear from you.

Let's transform society together at Sweco.
