CONTRACT 6XMONTHS

Rugby

My client is a leading engineering and infrastructure contractor that has been awarded by Severn Trent to deliver critical infrastructure upgrades to the sewage treatments works known as AMP8. They require as Mechanical Project Engineer who excels at the implementation of design, procurement, and package management. You will lead the early-stage mechanical design integration with the supply chain and delivery team, translate those designs into procurement packages, and serve as the mechanical package Lead for subcontractors as the project moves from the design phase into manufacturing and site delivery, installation and commissioning. Any previous experience working on AMP 6 or AMP 7 projects would be of particular interest.

Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

1. Early-Stage Design & Integration

• Internal & External Coordination: Lead the integration of internal mechanical design with specialist third-party supplier designs (e.g., aeration systems, pumps, various mechanical package plant, chemical dosing, inlet screening, valves, and Washwater systems)

• Technical Design Review: Critically review P&IDs, 3D models (BIM), and general arrangement drawings and feedback comments to the 3rd party designers through the design management function, as well as managing collaborative design between 3rd party designers and supplier design functions.

• Specification compliance: Ensure all designs meet UK water industry standards (WIMES), and specific client (STW) specifications.

2. Design-to-Procurement Management

• Package Definition: Translate design/datasheets into robust technical tender documents. You will ensure that mechanical specifications are precise, correct, and work closely with the commercial teams to initiate subcontract engagement and delivery.

• Subcontract Management: Manage mechanical packages proactively, you will ensure Subcontractors work to programme and implement robust planning of works alongside the site teams, as well as monitoring the scope of works, ensuring any change from the original design are technically assured, and commercially justified under NEC3/4 contract terms.

• Quality & FAT: Work with the MEICA team, where required to attend Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and quality inspections to verify that the physical mechanical assets match the approved design prior to delivery to site.
