We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Civil Engineer to join our team. The role will involve designing and developing water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
Key Responsibilities:
* Carry out preliminary site inspections to identify constructability issues, access, existing services etc.
* Supervise sub-contractors on site and record relevant SI information.
* Ensure HSQE documentation is in place for all site work - RAMS, SSWP's, permits etc.
* Source quotations from suppliers/sub-contractors and provide input to cost estimation for target cost submissions and value engineering workshops.
* Liaise with design manager to evaluate potential alignment options for pipelines, tanks, pumping stations, or treatment facilities etc.
* Consider constructability, sequencing, and temporary works implications at a high level.
* Develop initial layout drawings (general arrangement of treatment works, pipelines, structures, and access).
* Liaise with process, mechanical, and electrical engineers to ensure civil design integrates with process requirements.
* Participate in multidisciplinary design reviews/meetings to align civil works with process/electrical/mechanical requirements.
* Provide input to identify health & safety risks at early design stage.
* Liaise with procurement team to raise purchase orders.
* Attendance at civil/structural design meetings with consultants.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
* Understanding of civil engineering principles and their application to water and wastewater infrastructure (treatment works, pipelines, pumping stations).
* Familiarity with UE design standards, codes and guidance.
* Awareness of geotechnical considerations (foundations, ground conditions, settlement etc)
* Understanding of construction methods, constructability issues, and sequencing at a preliminary stage.
* Awareness of health and safety considerations and risk management in design.
* Technical design skills - ability to prepare conceptual layouts, GA drawings, pipe layouts etc.
* CAD/BIM proficiency - ability to use tools such as AutoCAD & BIM 360 for preliminary designs.
* Collaboration & coordination - working closely with process, mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineers in a multidisciplinary team.
* Communication skills - producing clear design reports, technical notes, presentations etc.
* Risk awareness - ability to identify and communicate key design and construction risks early in the process.
* Previous involvement in water and wastewater projects (e.g., treatment works, pumping stations, pipeline schemes, drainage networks).
* Experience in producing technical documentation - design reports, drawings, risk registers, and input to cost estimates.
* Ability to source quotations and provide input to target cost.
* Experience with digital design software i.e. CAD, BIM 360.
