Senior Process Engineer

Job description

Senior Process Engineer – Water / Wastewater

Falmer (Hybrid + site travel)

Up to £70k + package (flexible depending on experience)

We're working with a major UK utilities provider delivering long-term investment across water and wastewater infrastructure, with a strong focus on performance, compliance, and environmental improvement.

They’re looking to bring in a Senior Process Engineer to play a key role across both design and operational optimisation projects.

The Role

This isn’t purely a design role and it’s not purely operational. It sits in the middle.

You’ll be involved in:

• Developing and reviewing process designs for water and wastewater treatment
• Producing key deliverables such as PFDs, P&IDs, and process calculations
• Supporting site performance through troubleshooting and optimisation work
• Working closely with operational teams to improve efficiency and compliance
• Contributing to capital projects across treatment works

You’ll have real visibility across both engineering and operations, rather than being siloed.

What They’re Looking For

• Background in process or chemical engineering
• Experience within water or wastewater treatment (essential)
• Strong understanding of process design and documentation
• Experience supporting commissioning, optimisation, or site performance
• Comfortable working across both office-based and site environments

Chartered status or working towards it is beneficial, but not essential.

Why This Role?

• Long-term investment programme across UK water infrastructure
• Opportunity to influence both design and live operational performance
• Exposure to a wide range of treatment processes and sites
• Hybrid working with flexibility built in
• Clear progression within a major utility environment

If you’d like to understand more about the team, projects, or long-term direction, feel free to apply or message me directly.
