About the Role
This role seeks a self-motivated candidate to manage engineering projects end-to-end across Thames Water’s operational sites and estate. You will manage all aspects of each CAPEX project, including initial scoping, competitive tendering, contractor procurement, site setup and inductions, health and safety inspections, commissioning, training, and handover to operations teams. The internal job title for this role is ‘Project Engineer’ within the Capital Maintenance Project Team.

You will manage and deliver a portfolio of Mechanical, Electrical, and ICA projects, typically valued between £100,000 and £1 million per project. You will be individually responsible for multiple live projects simultaneously, with additional projects in scoping and tendering phases.

Working closely with operations teams and contractors, you will scope, define, and cost cost-effective solutions with minimal risk. You will oversee a zero-compromise health and safety policy, undertaking monthly audits, and ensure construction complies with in-house policies, wider industry standards, and CDM regulations.

Collaboration with delivery partners and contractors will be key to delivering schemes on time. You will maintain compliance with Asset Standards, British and International Standards, and professional codes of conduct.

Financial forecasting and reporting on the value of work done (VOWD) for all live projects will be part of your responsibilities. You will draft, vet, and approve pre-construction information, project programs, risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), and construction phase plans (CPP).

Finally, you will oversee commissioning, training, and handover of completed projects to operations teams, ensuring all completion documents such as test certificates, operation and maintenance manuals, health and safety files, and as-constructed drawings are available and handed over.
