Regional Engineering Lead

MWH Treatment is looking to strengthen our Engineering group with a Regional Engineering Lead for our Anglianwater region on the Cambridge relocation project. Based in the Peterborough & Cambridgearea, you will be working with the client and the wider team to manage the process of developing designs from feasibility through to handover. You will ensure that the necessary design activities and outputs, stakeholder engagement, 3rd Party liaison, compliance with relevant client and industry standards have been achieved, whilst maintaining a strong health and safety culture.
The Project
The Cambridge relocation project is the design & build of a modern, low carbon waste water treatment plant to provide vital services for the community and environment which will recycle water and nutrients, produce green energy and help Greater Cambridge to grow sustainably.
Known as the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) Relocation Project, Anglian Water will work with our partners, including ourselves MMB & Skanska to help deliver this fantastic opportunity for the Greater Cambridgeshire area. The relocation would make the site of the existing WWTP available to form part of the development of a new low-carbon city district, known as North East Cambridge. The site at Cowley Road, is Cambridge’s last major brownfield site, and the wider North East Cambridge district proposals envisage creating around 8,350 homes and 15,000 jobs over the next 20 years.
