  • Designing and upgrading mobile water treatment assets that make industry more sustainable.
  • Selecting materials and equipment that meet exacting specifications.

  • Getting hands-on: spending time in the office, on the shop floor, and on occasional site visits.
  • Collaborating with a global network of engineers while developing towards a Project Engineer role.

Requirements

  • Degree (BSc/MEng/MSc) in Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial, Electrical or Environmental Engineering.
  • 2-3 years' experience (or strong industrial placement) in engineering, water-related.
  • Skills in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and SAP are highly desirable.
  • A curious, proactive engineer who thrives in a collaborative team environment.

Benefits & conditions

From day one, you'll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, wellbeing, and future.

  • 26 days holiday + bank holidays (with option to buy/sell more)
  • Private healthcare & dental cover
  • Enhanced family leave from day one
  • Lifestyle account with matched funds for activities (£360 per year)
  • Discounted gym membership + paid volunteering day
  • Leading 10% employer pension contribution (double your 5%)
  • Life insurance worth 10x your salary
  • Income protection for up to 5 years

Why join?

You'll be part of an organisation where innovation meets sustainability, where your designs contribute to reducing energy use, preserving water resources, and making industry cleaner and smarter.
