Principal Engineer – Applied Engineering Team
Murphy is recruiting for a Principal Engineer to work with our Applied Engineering Team in our Warrington office.
Join Murphy as a Principal Civil/Structural Temporary Works Design Engineer taking a leading role in delivering critical water infrastructure across the UK.
Working on AMP8 frameworks with clients like United Utilities, Severn Trent Water, and Thames Water, you’ll be at the heart of our self-delivery model, integrating both design and construction to deliver efficient, buildable, and sustainable solutions.
From shafts and buried chambers to foundations, tanks, drainage, and roads, you’ll design the civil and structural elements of water and wastewater treatment works that directly improve river quality and environmental outcomes. Based from one of our offices in Warrington, Cannock, or Kentish Town, you’ll collaborate closely with project and site teams to develop practical solutions that make a real impact – above and below ground.
Under the banner of Applied Engineering, our in-house teams include civil, structural, mechanical, geotechnical and process engineers. They design both permanent and temporary works for projects in all our locations and are a trusted source of expert advice for both Murphy colleagues and external customers.
