We are currently recruiting for a Project Engineer to coordinate the functions of the estimating, scheduling, procurement, design, construction, and front line operational departments as they relate to the progress and completion of the project/programme under their direction.

You will be responsible for achieving the overall budget and quality objectives of the project/programme of works on WWC saving schemes.

Working with contractors and other directorates to assist on-site with large scale emergency management and mitigation, you will be creative in thinking outside the box for alternative solutions that can be used for quicker, better repairs.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have a WasteWater Engineering background with strong operational experience. The role requires great analytical skills and reporting experience; therefore, it is essential for you to be able to work on data. Exposure to project management will be ideal though not essential.
