Key responsibilities:
Design leadership across all five focus areas
- Lead the engineering design for SWMS, EPCM, and water-master-plan engagements - covering data and monitoring infrastructure, water resilience strategy, groundwater abstraction and treatment, fire-water systems, blackwater and wastewater treatment, and the full reticulation backbone that links them.
- Set design standards, review and sign off on drawings, BoQs, technical specifications, calculations and feasibility reports.
- Drive the Reduce / Secure / Supplement framework into every deliverable - fixture rationalisation, leak management, water reuse and harvesting, monitoring, alternative sources.
- Own the technical risk register for every engagement; escalate complex decisions early.
Client delivery
- Be the senior technical face across our portfolio of live SWMS, EPCM, and portfolio SLA engagements.
- Lead client meetings, design reviews, technical workshops and value-engineering sessions.
- Convert audit and feasibility outcomes into implementation-ready EPCM packages, in coordination with implementation partner.
- Build long-term portfolio relationships - most of clients are on a 5-year+ engagement horizon, mapped against the five focus areas above.
Team leadership
- Lead the engineering team day-to-day: assign work, review output, develop technical and consulting skills in your direct reports.
- Mentor ECSA Candidate engineers on the team toward Pr Eng / Pr Tech Eng registration.
- Run the weekly team operating cadence and contribute to the cross-team operating cadence with our monitoring and portfolio-account-management pod.
Productisation & methodology
- Codify your engineering work into reusable playbooks, templates and design tools - moving company from artisanal project work to repeatable productised offerings across each of the five focus areas.
- Contribute to the 3-way JV digital water intelligence platform requirements, particularly the audit, SWMS, monitoring and SLA modules.
- Help build the company engineering knowledge base, design standards and quality system.
