Are you a qualified Design Engineer with experience in Anaerobic Digestion, biogas, biomethane or the water industry?

Want to use your engineering expertise to help shape the future of renewable energy and play a key role in the UK's transition towards net zero?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing business at the forefront of biomethane technology, where you'll contribute to the design and development of innovative renewable gas facilities.

We're looking for an experienced Design Engineer with a strong mechanical and process engineering background, a relevant degree-level qualification and at least 5 years' industry experience.

The Opportunity

You'll join a specialist engineering team responsible for developing, designing and delivering cutting-edge biomethane production facilities.

Working closely with the Engineering Manager and a multidisciplinary team, you'll take ownership of project design deliverables, ensuring that engineering layouts, mechanical systems and process designs meet technical requirements, project objectives and industry standards.

This is a varied, hands-on engineering position offering the opportunity to influence projects from initial design through procurement, construction, commissioning and final handover.

With ambitious growth plans and a target to produce 1TWh of carbon-negative renewable natural gas by 2030, this is an opportunity to join a business making a genuine difference in the renewable energy sector.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Taking ownership of project 3D CAD models, ensuring layouts meet project requirements and engineering best practice.
• Producing PFDs, P&IDs, general arrangement drawings, isometrics and supporting technical documentation.
• Preparing line, valve and plant schedules using intelligent P&ID software.
• Providing technical support throughout procurement, commissioning, acceptance testing and project handover.
• Participating in HAZID, HAZOP and SIL reviews.
• Using AutoCAD and other 3D modelling and design software to develop engineering solutions.
• Reviewing 3D CAD models and ALM assessments.
• Providing technical input during engineering reviews and project progress meetings.
• Liaising with suppliers, specialist subcontractors, installation teams and construction personnel.
• Reviewing technical documentation supplied by equipment manufacturers and specialist contractors.
• Compiling final project documentation, including as-built drawings.

Essential Skills, Qualifications & Experience

Please read carefully - relevant industry experience and academic qualifications are essential for this position.

We are specifically looking for candidates who meet the following criteria:

• Industry background: At least 5 years' engineering design experience within Anaerobic Digestion (AD), biogas, biomethane, biomethane production/injection or the water industry.
• Qualifications: A Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Strong mechanical engineering knowledge, particularly piping and process plant design.
• Good understanding of mechanical, electrical and process plant layouts.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong knowledge of CAD software and 3D modelling packages.
• Understanding of engineering standards applicable to mechanical and electrical systems within process plants.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including Root Cause Analysis.
• Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills.
• Good general IT skills.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to undertake regular UK travel and occasional overseas travel.

Desirable experience:

• Knowledge of biomethane, CO2 capture and DSEAR regulations and guidance.
• Experience with CFD modelling.
• Familiarity with typical AD plant equipment and packaged plant systems.

Important: Applicants must have both the relevant degree-level engineering qualification and industry experience in one of the sectors specified above. General engineering design experience outside these industries will not be sufficient.

What's On Offer?

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• Hybrid working arrangements.
• Private healthcare.
• Private dental cover.
• The opportunity to join a growing business operating at the forefront of renewable energy and biomethane technology.
• The chance to contribute to projects that are helping accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy future.

Interested?

If you're a degree-qualified Design Engineer with at least 5 years' experience in Anaerobic Digestion, biogas, biomethane, biomethane injection or the water industry, we'd like to hear from you.
