About the Role
The UK water sector is entering a period of unprecedented investment and transformation. As Egis accelerates the growth of its Water Business in the UK, we are building a high-performing Process Engineering team to help shape this next chapter. We are inviting applicants who want to play a meaningful role in delivering major water and wastewater programmes in the UK municipal and industrial sectors. Working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, you will contribute to technically robust, sustainable and innovative treatment solutions across nationally significant projects. This is a rare opportunity to join at a key stage of our UK growth journey, helping to establish, shape and expand a process engineering capability built on Egis’ global infrastructure expertise and long-term commitment to the sector.

Key responsibilities include leading process design delivery on multidisciplinary water/wastewater treatment projects across the full design lifecycle; acting as process technical lead on projects, owning design strategy, treatment process selection, key decisions, interfaces, risks and quality of deliverables; reviewing and approving process calculations, mass balances, PFDs, P&IDs, basis of design reports, specifications, technical notes, models and supplier/contractor submissions; leading process modelling and simulation activities using tools such as BioWin, SUMO, Dynamizu or equivalent packages; leading optioneering, process capacity assessments, value engineering, design reviews, HAZOP/SWIFT, commissioning strategy and performance testing input; driving multidisciplinary coordination across Mechanical, EICA, civil/structural, architectural, MEP, construction, commissioning and operations teams; promoting lean and digitally enabled delivery through standardised tools, process models, automation, data analysis and reusable templates; providing technical assurance and supporting project managers with technical risk, scope, resourcing, programme and change control; mentoring and managing engineers where appropriate; and contributing to bids, client engagement, opportunity shaping and growth of the process capability.

Join Egis and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable water infrastructure across the UK. We are committed to our planet and to delivering sustainable infrastructure that addresses climate challenges and strengthens community resilience. Egis offers a highly competitive reward package, hybrid and flexible working, 26+ days annual leave plus bank holidays, professional development, chartership support, global mobility, and a supportive, inclusive culture driven by sustainability and long-term community impact.
