Water / Wastewater Engineer

We are seeking a Water / Wastewater Engineer to support the planning, design and delivery of water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role will involve working across a range of schemes, including treatment facilities, pumping stations, pipelines, drainage networks and associated civil engineering works.
