Key Responsibilities:

The Project Engineer is responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of ICA upgrade projects, ensuring they are delivered efficiently, safely, and in compliance with industry regulations. This includes developing and maintaining detailed project plans, budgets, and schedules, while working closely with internal teams, external contractors, and suppliers. The role also involves ensuring that all work is carried out in accordance with the company's electrical and ICA standards, contributing to the ongoing improvement of asset performance and operational reliability.
 
A key aspect of the role is the day-to-day management and support of the Operations Technician in the Cambridge region.

The ideal candidate will hold a degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, Automation, or a related field. Experience in project management within the water industry or a similar sector is essential, along with a strong understanding of PLC, SCADA, telemetry, and control systems. Knowledge of health and safety regulations, including CDM (Construction, Design & Management) regulations, is also required. Prior experience in managing technical staff or providing operational support would be an advantage.

The role requires strong project management and organisational skills, with the ability to deliver complex projects efficiently and effectively. A high level of technical knowledge in ICA, automation, and electrical systems is essential. Strong leadership and team management capabilities are required, particularly in the day-to-day support of operational staff. The Project Engineer must also have excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, ensuring effective collaboration across different teams and external partners. The ability to work both independently and as part of a team is essential, along with strong problem-solving and analytical skills to resolve technical challenges.
 
Key Relationships:

The Project Engineer will work closely with the Senior EICA Manager, as well as Operations and Maintenance teams, the Health and Safety team, and other key internal stakeholders. Externally, the role will involve working with contractors, suppliers, regulatory bodies, and industry partners to support project delivery and ensure compliance with industry standards.
