IM Partners is recruiting on behalf of Connekt Plumbing for an experienced Hydraulic Services Designer / Design Lead (Plumbing) to take ownership of the business’s hydraulic design capability.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who understands both hydraulic design and the practical realities of construction. You may already be leading a design function, or you may be an experienced hydraulic designer, senior drafter or technically strong plumbing professional ready to step into a broader leadership position.

Improving design, drafting and document-control processes
Identifying and implementing current technology, software and automation
Supporting the preparation of O&M; manuals, room data manuals, ITPs and other project documentation
