    Our mission is to deliver high-quality water for a more prosperous, greener and healthier North West of England.

    We are committed to providing our services in a way that respects the environment, supports the economy, and benefits society.

    We uphold our ethics, values and business model to fulfil our mission and, by setting clear goals and objectives, we create sustainable long-term value for our colleagues, customers and communities.

    We are excited to offer you a flexible and hybrid working model that lets you balance your work and life.

    You can choose to work from our main sites close to Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool, Preston and Kendal, or from any of our other hubs across Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria.

    Our projects are designed to be environmentally and socially responsible and will offer you opportunities to learn and grow throughout the project cycle.

    As part of our team, you will benefit from a range of training and development programs, such as support to gain CEng/Ieng status, AMP Project Management Qualifications (PMQ), leadership coaching, professional accreditation and mentoring.

    Are you a Lead Engineer, Engineering Manager or Project Engineer inspired to use your engineering skills to make a positive impact on the environment and society through sustainable, large-scale engineering projects? If yes, then you might be the perfect fit for the role of Senior Design Manager at United Utilities (UU), where you will have the opportunity to lead and motivate our project engineering teams and contribute to the delivery of UU's Capital Programme in North West England, UK.

    As a project engineering leader, you will have a crucial role in advancing our projects from the feasibility stage (which may involve studies that are years ahead of the actual intervention) to the completion stage.

    By embracing and promoting innovation, especially with new technologies and/or environmental solutions, and using your leadership skills, you will oversee engineering teams from different disciplines to deliver solutions that meet the customer's technical, contractual and legal requirements.

    Working closely with Project Managers and delivery teams, you will effectively plan and manage the engineering work within projects, ensuring quality, schedule and cost objectives are met.

    You will also lead process improvement initiatives and help us shape and define our future vision.

    You will witness our projects being built and, through your responsibilities and day-to-day activity, you will have a direct impact on our success.

    You will therefore need to establish strong working relationships, manage key internal and external stakeholders effectively and provide expert guidance to our contractors and the wider enterprise.

    United Utilities offer dynamic and long-lasting options that will help you grow professionally and personally and you will have the chance to enhance your skill, knowledge and experience in a supportive and collaborative environment.

    If you are passionate about making a positive difference for the North West of England and want to join us on our journey of transformation, we would love to hear from you.

    Motivate and mentor Design Managers, fostering a culture of learning and development
    Lead and review projects, enhancing engineering processes and practices across the enterprise
    Create and execute project engineering plans that align with client expectations and quality standards
    Represent the engineering voice within and outside the business, managing risks and driving performance
