We are looking for a water industry professional who is keen to work, learn and develop in the process commissioning of new wastewater processes and equipment.

You'll work as part of the AMP8 Delivery Programme through the full project lifecycle, from design to construction, commissioning and handover.

You will work on multimillion-pound wastewater infrastructure projects across the region.
What you'll do

The Commissioning team manages and undertakes the commissioning of wastewater infrastructure projects throughout the region.

A Process Commissioning Engineer provides input throughout the design and construction of a project, before leading the project through successful commissioning.

Typical daily tasks might involve the following:

• generating commissioning plans which define how the new assets will be tested and brought online
• liaising with Operations and Civil construction teams to risk assess any project work and its impact on the existing treatment process
• undertake software FATs and SATs with Automation Engineers
• testing new process equipment to confirm it works correctly, safely and meets client requirements
• analysing data from process wastewater samples to confirm the site is operating as required
• training and handing over new assets to our operations team
• mentoring junior engineers and technicians to help the growth of the team.

As you develop and grow, you will take on more of a leadership role and responsibility, with a view to becoming a Senior Commissioning Engineer.

The nature of commissioning on-site means the role is more hands-on and site-based.
What you'll need

You'll have:

• a relevant degree in either engineering or science (eg, biochemistry or chemical engineering) or knowledge gained through applicable experience
• a proactive engineering mindset with an enthusiasm for understanding technical processes and problem-solving
• experience in the process commissioning of new wastewater infrastructure assets
• excellent verbal and written communication skills
• the ability to translate technical issues into simple terms
• good IT skills, with an ability to author and review technical documentation
• good personal skills, coupled with a positive attitude and the drive to succeed, as you'll be part of a small, specialist team.

What you'll receive

• A combined pension contribution of up to 20%.
• Career progression and professional development opportunities.
• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
• The opportunity to sell up to five days of holiday every year.
• The opportunity to buy up to ten days of holiday each year (subject to conditions).
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
• The opportunity to lease a new electric car through salary sacrifice (subject to conditions).
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• Access to an interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from trained mental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone who is successfully recruited by us.
