We're looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our growing Water Solutions team in Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, or Plymouth. In this role, you'll play a key part in delivering South West Water's and Wessex Water's £8 billion capital programmes. These projects span from small rural sites to multi-million-pound schemes and cover both water and wastewater (Infrastructure and Non-Infrastructure). The frameworks are long-term, extending through AMP8 and AMP9.

With flexible working from our South West & Wales locations, you'll collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions. As part of AECOM, you'll engage in impactful projects from inception through to delivery, enhancing the environment and supporting communities.

Here's what you'll do:

• Electrical and ICA Design: Undertake the design and review of electrical and ICA elements in wastewater and water infrastructure / treatment projects, and offer advice, where necessary in a technical expert role.
• Quality: Produce and review client deliverables, make key technical decisions and identify when specialist input from the greater team is required.
• Project Management: Prepare and manage the production of key packages of work using internal systems and operations, and assess design resources within the discipline.

• Collaborate: With client and AECOM counterparts to ensure stakeholder buy in to solutions, also contributing to AECOM's wider technical capability and innovative approach.
