About the Role
This role seeks a self-motivated candidate to manage engineering projects end-to-end across Thames Water’s Sewage Treatment operational sites and estate. You will manage all aspects of CAPEX projects, 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 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 each. You will be individually responsible for multiple live projects and others in scoping and tendering phases. The role involves developing innovative and modern solutions to operational problems, working closely with operations teams and contractors to scope, define, and cost cost-effective, low-risk solutions.

Overseeing commissioning, training, and handover of completed projects to operations teams is required, 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.
