Create Solutions that will enable a better tomorrow

We are seeking a Principal Mechanical Engineer with a background in Water Utilities to strengthen our mechanical capabilities on infrastructure projects. You will lead the delivery of mechanical design solutions for water supply and wastewater infrastructure, including pressurised mains, pumping stations, and treatment works equipment. Working in a dynamic, global design environment, you will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams across various locations. Opportunities may also arise to contribute to broader MEP initiatives or take on client-facing / site-based roles within major infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead and mentor the mechanical design team, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment
  • Oversee the complete design lifecycle, ensuring high-quality, compliant, and timely deliverables
  • Drive recruitment efforts and support team development through coaching and structured growth plans

On top of that, you’ll have :

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering; Chartered Engineer status (UK or equivalent) is advantageous
  • Proven experience in mechanical systems design, including water-based systems (e.g., pumping stations, pressurised mains, treatment works)
  • Skilled in hydraulic modelling, stress and support calculations, and applying CDM regulations
  • Ability to deliver technically sound solutions independently and lead discipline-specific tasks
  • Familiarity with WIMES and mechanical equipment such as lifting gear, actuated gates, and building services
  • Experience with 3D / BIM design and design-build projects, including potential site representation
