Hilson Moran are interdisciplinary consultants, engineers and advisors, applying progressive design thinking to shape the environments we live in.  We provide a full range of engineering services, exciting innovation and design solutions on a full range of projects from across our network of offices in the UK.

Our recently refurbished London office – the Living Lab – offers a direct link to clients, the ability to further develop our existing relationships and to pursue future opportunities across the city. We also have full view of some of our most iconic designs, including 20 Fenchurch Street ‘the Walkie Talkie’ and 30 St Mary’s Axe ‘The Gherkin’ from our river café space.

We are currently seeking a Utilities Infrastructure Technician to join our Infrastructure and Environment team. Our existing team are a market leading provider of utilities and energy infrastructure on some of the UK’s largest and most visible construction/development projects. The role may also provide ad-hoc support to our water and transport planning teams.

The primary responsibility will be to provide technical outputs (drawings, reports, sketches and specifications). Typically, the successful candidate will support our utilities engineers and consultants but will also support our water resources and transport planning teams in the development of some of our early drainage and highway engineering schemes.

On a day-to-day basis you will meet with utility and sewerage undertakers – both onsite and off-site to negotiate emerging utilities alterations (diversion of existing infrastructure) and new connection works that fulfil our client’s technical and commercial needs; prepare regular progress and quality reports including technical sketches; and ideally project manage technical aspects of these often complex projects. You must be able to check, review and update 2D (very occasionally 3D) AutoCAD drawings and output fully co-ordinated engineering drawings in conjunction with our CAD team (and wider Revit teams – you will not be expected to undertake Revit work at the current time but development of Revit skills may be possible within this role if desirable).

Our ‘Infrastructure Services’ team provides technical, commercial and procurement advice to large and often prestigious commercial, residential and mixed-use developers. We tend to support large regeneration and masterplanning projects from early infrastructure planning through to installation and commissioning of multi-utility, foul/surface water/SuDs and mobility services, and uniquely we manage the alteration of existing utility networks in very constrained (often below ground) spaces to de-risk some of the UK’s most prestigious development projects.

We provide expertise in regard water, wastewater (and SuDS), district heating/cooling, electricity, telecommunication networks and mobility-based solutions.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Meet with utility and sewerage undertakers – both onsite and off-site to negotiate emerging utilities alterations (diversion of existing infrastructure) and new connection works that fulfill our client’s technical and commercial needs.
• Prepare regular progress and quality reports including technical sketches.
• Project manage technical aspects of these often complex projects.
• Check, review, and update 2D (very occasionally 3D) AutoCAD drawings and output fully coordinated engineering drawings in conjunction with our CAD team (and wider Revit teams – you will not be expected to undertake Revit work at the current time but development of Revit skills may be possible within this role if desirable).
• Provide technical, commercial, and procurement advice to large and often prestigious commercial, residential, and mixed-use developers.
• Support large regeneration and masterplanning projects from early infrastructure planning through to installation and commissioning of multi-utility, foul/surface water/SuDs, and mobility services.
• Manage the alteration of existing utility networks in very constrained (often below ground) spaces to de-risk some of the UK’s most prestigious development projects.
• Conduct site visits to assess project progress and ensure compliance with technical specifications.
• Collaborate with project managers and other stakeholders to ensure project timelines and budgets are met.
• Assist in the development and implementation of health and safety protocols for project sites.

This is a great opportunity to take an Engineering Technician proficient in one discipline and demonstrate the value of inter-disciplinary working – one team with a joined-up outcome.
