Mechanical Project Engineer – Water Treatment (Northern Wales) About the Role Reporting to the Engineering or Project Manager, the Mechanical Project Engineer will oversee mechanical systems in water treatment facilities across North Wales—from design through installation, commissioning, and operational handover. This role blends technical command with effective project management, all within the water sector’s regulatory and environmental context. Responsibilities Lead mechanical engineering components of treatment plant projects (e.g., pumps, valves, aeration systems, piping, structural supports). Review and contribute to technical documentation: mechanical design drawings (P&IDs, layouts, isometrics), specifications, datasheets, and materials. Define mechanical system requirements, source suppliers, and assess equipment vendors. Manage mechanical installation activities, ensuring compliance with project schedules and budgets. Collaborate with multi‑disciplinary teams (civil, electrical, instrumentation) to ensure system integrity and seamless integration. Perform site inspections, quality checks, and commissioning support—troubleshoot technical issues as they arise. Ensure all work respects health & safety standards (e.g., CDM regulations in the UK), environmental impact guidelines, and water industry norms. Support technical assessments for ongoing plant maintenance and upgrades post-commissioning. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical or Project Engineering, or similar. Proven experience (typically 3–7 years) in mechanical engineering within water treatment or utility infrastructure. Strong working knowledge of mechanical systems common to water/wastewater plants—especially pumps, filtration setups, valves, piping, and HVAC. Skilled in reading and interpreting P&IDs and mechanical schematics. Proficiency with engineering tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks) and MS Project or other project management software. Employs a systematic approach to problem-solving and construction site support. Required Skills Strong organizational and time-management abilities to handle multiple mechanical packages simultaneously. Excellent communication skills—clear coordination with contractors, consultants, and regulatory bodies. Familiarity with health and safety frameworks (e.g., CDM 2015 regulations—in UK context). Adaptable and proactive approach to both office-based and field-based assignments. Preferred Skills Experience in UK water sector regulations and standards (e.g., UK Water Industry, Environment Agency guidelines). Familiar with sustainable and energy-efficient design practices. Capable of travel across North Wales and working in varied onsite conditions. Chartered Engineer status (EngTech, IEng, or CEng) or working toward it. Pay range and compensation package Even though we didn't find a location-specific, real-world job listing, such a role in North Wales typically operates within the context of water authorities or consultancies servicing facilities like Argoed Water Treatment Works, Brenig Reservoir support, or Welsh Water projects. Equal Opportunity Statement Regional employers frequently emphasize: Understanding of local environmental and planning regulations. Logistics managed across rural Welsh sites—travel and flexibility are vital. Collaboration with Welsh Water (Dŵr Cymru) or local councils for project permissions and safe operations. Extra Tips for Finding or Refining Job Descriptions Tailor for Roles: If your focus is more on design, highlight CAD, calculations, specification drafting. If it's installation, weight on site supervision, contractor liaison, troubleshooting. Elevate with UK Standards: Incorporate the Water Industry Specification (WIS), Water Industry Approved Procedures (WIAPS), and health and safety practices under CDM 2015. These keywords often feature prominently in real job adverts. Emphasize Soft Skills: Especially critical in rural Wales—local site constraints, supplier availability, and community or environmental stakeholder engagement. ```
