Mechanical Engineer

The Anglian Water Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) project currently involves the planning, design and construction of circa 320km of new strategic, large diameter, clean water interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure across Anglian Water’s region. The SPA Alliance is also taking on responsibility for the future interconnector pipelines, a further 260km of strategic interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure.

The Mechanical Engineer (Building Services / HVAC Specialist) is responsible for delivering fit-for-purpose ventilation and environmental control solutions for clean water pumping stations. The role ensures the protection of electrical and mechanical assets (e.g., pumps, MCCs), provides suitable working environments for operators, and supports safe, efficient, and resilient water supply infrastructure.

This role will be fully remote. There is approximately 3 weeks of work for IC1, however it is likely that the requirements will be extended once input is confirmed for IC2
