We are looking to strengthen our engineering team with a Design Manger at our @One Alliance, Peterborough office with hybrid working available.
Join the award-winning @one Alliance, delivering a £9bn investment programme to safeguard water resources, enhance the environment, and support sustainable growth across the East of England—one of the UK’s most water-stressed regions.
We’re looking for an experienced Design Manager to lead the engineering design delivery of a diverse portfolio of water recycling projects across the East region. You’ll head up a multi-disciplinary engineering team, driving innovative and sustainable solutions that improve wastewater treatment performance, reduce carbon, and enhance natural capital.
Working collaboratively across the @one Alliance, you’ll champion new ways of working—focusing on outcomes over outputs—while embracing digital technologies and continuous improvement.
As part of the role you will:
-
Lead design delivery across a portfolio of water recycling and wastewater projects
-
Develop and manage Engineering Project Plans covering scope, programme, cost, risk and resources
-
Direct multi-disciplinary teams (process, mechanical, electrical, civil) to deliver high-quality design solutions
-
Collaborate with suppliers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders to integrate designs effectively
-
Drive affordability, value and low-carbon, environmentally sustainable solutions
-
Ensure compliance with CDM regulations and lead a strong health & safety culture
-
Lead, mentor and develop a high-performing engineering team
-
Support innovation, standardisation and the use of digital engineering (including 3D modelling)
-
Work closely with wider alliance functions (delivery, procurement, construction) to achieve project outcomes
