Description

What do you get if you cross an award winning, innovative, water company and over 300 dedicated team members? Our Design team of course

Our ambitious and innovative projects (all 5000+ of them) help to combat the challenges of waste and water infrastructure, flooding and water quality.

Being part of our inhouse designers means we can do the best by our customers and our water.

If you want to do more because you care, we'd love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

Sitting within the Design Excellence function of the Capital Design and Delivery Department, this role will be accountable for determining the techniques, templates, tools and processes required to establish and improve the departments design standards specifically related to hydraulic(s) engineering.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Reporting to the Design Excellence Lead, this role will explore the opportunity to adopt new techniques and technologies for the capital programme.

With significant technical hydraulic experience at leadership level, you will set, maintain, and raise the standards within the design function.

You will design training programmes, develop our junior talent, drive innovation and act as the 'go-to' person for all hydraulic(s) related queries within the design function.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE ROLE

You will have experience in providing technical leadership to a large programme of capital works, with a strong ability to lead input into multiple projects.

You will have experience of leading a team of hydraulic engineers, with a background in hydraulic design from feasibility through detailed design, construction and commissioning.

Ideally with some experience in utilities, and effective at integrating within a matrix organisation, you will be a technical expert in all things hydraulics including free surface flow hydraulic design, gravity and pump system hydraulic design and hydraulic modelling software such as Hades, Infoworks or Varisim.

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.

We want people who show up and get involve.

Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.

Is that you?

We do more, because we care.
