We are working with a well-established engineering group operating at the heart of the UK water industry, delivering pump rental and fluid transfer solutions to major infrastructure clients.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone with experience designing temporary works in a live site environment.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

• Plan and design temporary works to support project delivery and ensure safe access for installation teams
• Create detailed technical drawings using 2D and 3D CAD software
• Assess risk and compliance across all designs, ensuring health and safety standards are met
• Organise site logistics and coordinate temporary works resources (scaffolding, plant, access structures etc.)
• Liaise with customers and project teams to present temporary works solutions for sign-off
• Collaborate closely with SHEQ, BIM, and Project Delivery teams to align temporary works with wider project requirements
• Maintain clear documentation for all temporary works and contribute to audits, quality reviews, and safety checks
• Foster a positive culture of safety, compliance, and continuous improvement across the project lifecycle

Skills & Experience Required:

• Background in civil, structural, or temporary works engineering
• Experience designing temporary works in a construction or infrastructure environment
• Familiar with AutoCAD (2D & 3D) and other CAD tools for technical design work
• Strong understanding of health & safety in a site-based environment
• Able to produce technical designs and risk assessments for temporary installations
• Comfortable working with site teams and clients to explain, adapt, and approve plans
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Full UK driving licence – occasional travel required (pool/hire car provided)
• No direct reports – this is a standalone technical role
