Design-build engineering partner for UK water infrastructure
WGM Engineering is a Glasgow-based design-and-build firm serving UK water utilities with in-house engineering, manufacturing, and project delivery. The stack is almost entirely Microsoft-centric (365, Azure, Teams, Project) with CAD/BIM for design and Oracle Primavera P6 for program management—a footprint typical of large construction/infrastructure firms running tight compliance workflows. Hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (22 of 29 roles), with mid-level and lead positions filling out, signaling active project scaling rather than foundation-building.
