• Collaborating closely with internal teams to clarify technical requirements


• Encouraging continuous improvement and first-class project delivery

What You'll Bring


• Experience as a Project Engineer with understanding/ experience of managing engineering or construction projects (water, mechanical, or infrastructure is ideal)


• Understanding of project management frameworks (APM, PRINCE2, etc.)


• Ability to read, interpret, and manage technical scopes


• Confident using MS Project or similar tools


• A full UK driving licence


• Strong communicator, problem-solver, and natural organiser

Why You'll Love Working Here

You'll be joining a close-knit, supportive team where your contribution actually matters and no two days play out the same way. Add to that a genuinely positive workplace and a benefits package that beats a lot of the competition:

Benefits:


• On-site parking

• 25 days' holiday + bank holidays


• Holiday buying scheme (up to 5 extra days)
