Birmingham, United Kingdom Avove Full time

Avove is a new, independent utilities infrastructure business, formed from the utilities division of leading infrastructure services company, Amey.

We design, build and maintain the UK’s utilities infrastructure to help transform local communities for the better.

We are proud to work in partnership with our clients, including Severn Trent, United Utilities, Yorkshire Water, Scottish Water, Northern Powergrid and Scottish Power.

What we can offer:

We offer a competitive salary that is based on proven skills and experience. Hard work is celebrated and rewarded. We recognise that one size doesn’t fit all so everyone has access to a variety of flexible benefits that work for you.

  • 24 days holiday plus statutory holidays (option to buy more)
  • Company pension scheme
  • Enhanced family friendly policies
  • Life assurance
  • A selection of lifestyle benefit options
  • Financial wellbeing programme
  • Employee assistance program for health and wellbeing and onsite mental health first aiders to support our colleagues
  • We love to give back so we offer you volunteering days in your community and charity matched giving where we will boost your fundraising

The Role:

An Electrical Engineer will deliver the EICA design content of water industry projects as part of 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 electrical design packages for construction.


Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will be able to:

  • Undertake elements of water infrastructure design under the supervision of others, either on their own initiative or within multi-disciplinary project teams
  • Obtain and analyse information, and report on findings
  • Prepare and present engineering solutions to others (drawings, reports, calculations, etc)
  • Produce engineering drawings, reports and undertake site surveys
  • Develop designs in accordance with the client’s requirements and relevant design standards to achieve fit for purpose and cost-effective solutions
  • Work collaboratively within a team environment to develop and maintain good working relationships with clients and other stakeholders
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment that brings different challenges every day
  • Be familiar with health, safety and welfare e.g., Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations and how these principles can be incorporated into your designs

Skills & Experience:

We want to hear from you if you:

  • Are preferably BSc/BEng qualified with some post graduate experience. Individuals with qualifications that do not fully match the criteria but have the relevant experience are still invited to apply
  • Have design or operational experience in a utility industry, ideally with knowledge of potable water in the UK
  • Are computer literate and conversant with the MS Office suite with a basic knowledge of engineering packages such as AutoCAD
  • Have good communication skills in dealing with clients and colleagues
  • Employ a client focused approach to service delivery
  • Have a willingness to learn

Our main value is to “Move Life Forward” and we are committed to developing our colleagues and encouraging personal growth, in conjunction with a flexible working approach so everyone can thrive in an inclusive and open environment. Avove is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we pride ourselves on an inclusive approach to recruitment.
