Water/Wastewater project engineer
The Opportunity
Our client is seeking a talented and motivated Project Engineer to join their Emporia office and play a key role in designing water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This is a hands-on design-focused role with the opportunity to contribute to the growth of a regional office, supported by a network of experienced teams across the country.
You'll be involved in meaningful design work across a range of public infrastructure projects, with a particular emphasis on Potable Water Systems and Sanitary Sewer Systems. The Emporia office is a strategic growth area, and this role offers the chance to help shape its future while developing your own career in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform detailed design work for water and wastewater infrastructure projects
- Support project delivery from planning through construction
- Collaborate with project managers, clients, and multidisciplinary teams
- Prepare engineering reports, drawings, specifications, and cost estimates
- Contribute to the development of the Emporia office and its local project portfolio
Why This Role Stands Out
Real Ownership Programme
After your first year, you'll be eligible to buy into the business through a genuine equity model. This isn't about being handed a few symbolic shares - it's about becoming a true owner. Employees in the programme have earned up to 25 percent above their annual salary through profit sharing and dividends. You'll have real influence and real returns.
Design-Focused Role with Impact
You'll be working on essential infrastructure that directly serves communities, with a strong focus on potable water and sanitary sewer systems. Your work will be meaningful, visible, and valued.
Hybrid Working
Enjoy a flexible work schedule that balances remote work with in-office collaboration, designed to support productivity and well-being.
Collaborative Culture
Work alongside passionate professionals who value integrity, innovation, and impact. Our client fosters a culture where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognised.
Growth and Development
You'll be part of a consultancy that invests in its people, offering clear pathways for career progression and personal development.
Who You Are
- Experienced in water and wastewater infrastructure design
- Preferably with a strong background in Potable Water Systems and Sanitary Sewer Systems
- Detail-oriented, collaborative, and eager to grow
- Looking for a role where your work makes a difference and your contributions are rewarded
