Mechanical Project Engineer

Role Overview

Mechanical Project Engineer – Location: Derby – Rate: Up to £475 p/d – Umbrella PAYE – Duration: 18 months+ / Ongoing – Sector: Water / Wastewater.

Are you a Project Engineer or have experience in the water/wastewater sector? Do you want to join a market‑leading business that encourages a high workload and opportunities to think differently? Our client is a contractor strengthening their delivery team for the AMP8 funding cycle on their large framework portfolio on behalf of Severn Trent Water.

The successful Project Engineer will work with the project managers, construction teams and subcontractors to ensure the successful on‑site delivery of complex non‑infrastructure projects in the water sector. Projects will be attached to wastewater schemes, overseeing packages of work to improve the quality of discharged wastewater on sites in the Derby and Nottingham region. Due to the complexities involved, you must have experience as a Site Manager in the UK Water Sector; we can consider candidate(s) from a client side or contractor background provided you have worked with projects attached to UK Water Authorities.
