Job Description

Role overview

The Project Engineer will play a key role in delivering water-sector infrastructure projects from design through to commissioning. Working closely with project managers, designers, contractors, and client representatives, the Project Engineer ensures technical quality, regulatory compliance, and efficient execution across clean water, wastewater, and treatment-related works.

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery

  • Support end-to-end project lifecycle, including feasibility, detailed design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Translate project requirements into technical specifications and engineering solutions.
  • Assist in the development of project plans, schedules, and cost estimates.
  • Coordinate with contractors and suppliers, ensuring timely delivery of materials and services.

Technical Engineering

  • Review engineering drawings, P&IDs, and technical documents for accuracy and compliance.
  • Provide engineering input on process, mechanical, electrical, or civil elements (depending on project scope).
  • Conduct site surveys, assessments, and technical investigations.
  • Support development of risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), and design risk registers.

Quality, Compliance & Safety

  • Ensure all project activities comply with water industry standards, regulatory requirements (e.g., DWI, EA), and health & safety legislation (e.g., CDM).
  • Conduct quality checks, inspections, and documentation reviews.
  • Support environmental and sustainability objectives associated with water projects.

Stakeholder Management

  • Liaise with internal teams, clients, statutory authorities, and subcontractors.
  • Support progress meetings, prepare status reports, and escalate risks and issues.
  • Communicate technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
