Job Description:

Senior Process Engineer – Water / Wastewater

Falmer (Hybrid + site travel)

Up to £70k + package (flexible depending on experience)

We’re working with a major UK utilities provider delivering long-term investment across water and wastewater infrastructure, with a strong focus on performance, compliance, and environmental improvement.

They’re looking to bring in a Senior Process Engineer to play a key role across both design and operational optimisation projects.

The Role

This isn’t purely a design role and it’s not purely operational. It sits in the middle.

You’ll be involved in:

  • Developing and reviewing process designs for water and wastewater treatment
  • Producing key deliverables such as PFDs, P&IDs, and process calculations
  • Supporting site performance through troubleshooting and optimisation work
  • Working closely with operational teams to improve efficiency and compliance
  • Contributing to capital projects across treatment works

You’ll have real visibility across both engineering and operations, rather than being siloed.

What They’re Looking For

  • Background in process or chemical engineering
  • Experience within water or wastewater treatment (essential)
  • Strong understanding of process design and documentation
  • Experience supporting commissioning, optimisation, or site performance
  • Comfortable working across both office-based and site environments

Chartered status or working towards it is beneficial, but not essential.

Why This Role?

  • Long-term investment programme across UK water infrastructure
  • Opportunity to influence both design and live operational performance
  • Exposure to a wide range of treatment processes and sites
  • Hybrid working with flexibility built in
  • Clear progression within a major utility environment

If you’d like to understand more about the team, projects, or long-term direction, feel free to apply or message me directly.
