Hiring Water Engineers For Tier Providers
By understanding the demands and requirements placed upon you by the water frameworks, we ensure that you have the right water engineers at the right time, with the right desire and attitude to deliver.
Working with trusted tier providers and major consultancies to attract and recruit the best water engineers
Water by Murray has been recruiting water engineers in the industry for over a decade! We are proud to say that there are no other water recruitment consultancies in the sector that have successfully navigated a full project life cycle, like our team. Our understanding and track record have led to the development of successful and long-term hiring partnerships with tier 1,2 and 3 providers, including JN Bentley, Mott McDonald, Balfour Beatty, NorthAvon Group, Costain and Capula.
Working with established tier providers and major consultancies has given us access, and rare insight, into a range of projects and their associated demands/challenges, allowing us to develop our understanding of the broader ecosystem and adapt our services accordingly.
From project inception to completion, and everything in between, we understand your recruitment needs, resourcing requirements, and how these sit within the AMP cycle schedule and regulatory requirements. We know how you operate, are aware of the demands and requirements placed upon you by the frameworks and are adept at positioning ourselves to offer the best water engineers at the right time.
We are the water engineering recruitment partner of choice and below are some of the reasons why our clients choose to work with us:
- They want a knowledgeable specialist agency immersed in the water sector
- They are seeking to fill roles with niche and specialist requirements
- They only want to be presented with water engineers that solve the needs and fit the brief
- They expect a recruitment delivery partner to run the process for them and save them time
- They require consultative advice on what to hire, when and how
- They trust us to act as a reputable extension of their business and operations
With a genuine passion for the water sector, our experienced water engineering recruitment consultants engage and attract highly qualified and skilled candidates to enhance your project. Water specialists are adapting to keep pace with the range of new roles being developed across the sector. As technology advances and projects within the industry progress, their skills in automation, research and implementation are ever more key to driving success. These are innovative collaborators with a strong interest in leading projects, typically technically minded and working across a variety of different projects from clean water and wastewater treatment to sewage treatment, leaning on new technologies in a bustling market space.
We provide a tailored, niche recruitment process, using our specialised tools and databases, led by consultants recognised as experts in your sector. Focusing on asset management, project managers, MEICA engineers and managers, process design and commissioning, all the way through to plant technicians; we can help you to find the right people, whether for a permanent or interim hire. Our work outside of the tier providers and consultancies, with regulators, frameworks and the broader supply chain has allowed us to build a network and knowledge base that informs our work, improves our delivery and has given us insight into the strategic and granular delivery.
Helped us to meet demand & deadlines!
Teo & Murray McIntosh helped us during a very busy period.
At that time we required experienced electricians to assist us with cutting cables, assembling complex multi-core cables, soldering, and panel wiring. Teo helped us to meet demand & deadlines by introducing us to qualified individuals in the area who were able to jump on board with the availability and skillsets we required.

We currently have 10+ Murray McIntosh resources working across my team. Teo has been the recruiter for all of them. We have found the standard of applicants to be high, clearly the effort dedicated to candidate vetting by Teo prior to submission has saved time at the interview stage with an offer rate of around 2 from 3. Teo is very proactive in offering CVs and managing them through the online portals to get them in front of me for review, he is also quick to act when making offers and securing start dates. He has been supportive on the occasion a candidate wasn’t performing and provided sound guidance on the way forward.

Mini Murray Case Study
The Challenge
A tier 1 provider, invited us to help resolve a few of their main hiring issues:
- Excessive and irrelevant CV submissions from too many agency suppliers
- Time management and scheduling
The Solution
Taking a consultative approach, we met and spoke with all relevant stakeholders, revised job specifications, provided market and competitor insight, ran a benchmarking process on water engineer rates, packages, and benefits, refined the submission process, adapted the interview stages and managed the offer and onboarding process to reduce drop-out ratios. The changes made became uniform across the range of projects we supported.
The Result
We have reduced time to hire, on average by 6 weeks, and significantly reduced the amount of time previously invested by hiring managers, ensuring the time that they do give is valuable and impactful.
We have reached a ration of 1.6 for CVs submitted to interview requests and have successfully placed +40 industry specialists to specific roles over a 6 month period.
