Design Coordination Engineer

Do you have a broad technical background in engineering and delivery? Are you looking for a role where you can be a part of multiple projects, from initial design briefs through to design and construction phases? If so, we have a great opportunity to join our Project Delivery team in Bath as a Design Coordination Engineer!

What you'll do

Working within the Engineering and Delivery team, you will play a key role within a growing team and expanding number of projects that extend to 2037. We use the services of both in-house and external design consultants and contractors to fit each individual project's needs.

As the Design Coordination Engineer, you will work as part of the Project Delivery team, where you will manage the design process and act as an interface between consultants, contractors and internal teams to ensure designs are delivered in accordance with Wessex Water requirements.

This will include:

• the preparation and agreement of design briefs, fee proposals, programmes and the general management of contacts to ensure the design team delivers in line with the agreed financial approvals and programme
• coordinating and organising surveys to provide client data to establish project scope
• ensuring that recommended solutions are sustainable and best value in terms of whole life costs
• representing the client and supporting the Project Manager in dealing with the various stakeholder interfaces
• attending workshops and regular design meetings to review design proposals and consider issues such as buildability, commissioning, HAZOPs, Control Philosophy and URS reviews
• managing drawing and document administration to ensure consultants and contractors meet project and regulatory requirements.

What you'll need

To be successful you will ideally hold a degree or equivalent qualification in engineering and have a technical background. You will also have a full appreciation of the key civil, mechanical and electrical design interfaces involved in delivering a project.

You will be a confident and effective communicator with both internal colleagues and external contractors. You will also be IT literate and comfortable report writing. An understanding of treatment processes and MEICA experience would be an advantage but is not essential.

What you'll receive

• Total pension contributions up to 20%.
• Career progression and professional development opportunities.
• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
• The opportunity to buy up to ten days' holiday and sell up to five every year.
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
• A new electric car in exchange for part of your gross salary.
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• An interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from mental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone to work for us.
