Independent Design Manager · Tel Aviv

Senior design leadership for water and environment projects

Azimuth Water helps EPC and project companies — and municipal, public, and industrial water teams — with accountable senior design management across the project lifecycle: tender and bid, detailed design, upper construction supervision, erection support where relevant, as-made (as-built) drawings, and startup & commissioning. Depth includes seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and related water and wastewater treatment scope.

Who this is for

Leaders & owners

CEOs, founders, and BU heads in water and desalination EPC & project companies — also municipalities, public water bodies, water corporations, and industry / factories.

Engineering & proposals

Engineering managers, project managers, and proposal managers who shortlist and scope senior design capacity.

What you get when schedule, interfaces, and design quality cannot slip

Senior buyers do not hire another pair of hands — they hire someone who owns design clarity under commercial and execution pressure. Azimuth Water is structured for that: one accountable Design Manager who speaks process, disciplines, vendors, and project reality from bid through handover.

  • Across project stages Senior design leadership for tender and bid, detailed design, upper construction supervision, erection support where relevant, as-made (as-built) drawings, and startup & commissioning.
  • Tender & bid packages Process concepts and coordinated design deliverables that proposal and commercial teams can stand behind.
  • Interface control Process, mechanical, civil, electrical, and control kept aligned — fewer late surprises in execution.
  • Senior capacity without permanent headcount Project-based design leadership for peaks across bid, design, construction, and commissioning — without permanent headcount.
  • Operability in the brief Designs reviewed for cost, standards, and how the plant will actually be run — with optimization to lower OPEX in design and in operation — not drawings alone.

How Azimuth Water supports your project

Modular support across the project lifecycle — tender, detailed design, construction supervision, and startup & commissioning — used alone or under senior design management. Depth for engineering leads; outcomes framed for commercial stakeholders.

Process design packages

Detailed design and FEED deliverables where relevant — PFD, P&ID, heat & mass balance, BOQ, equipment selection, and technical specifications for SWRO design engineering, RO, UF, EDI, conventional treatment, and related unit operations.

Tender & BOT package support

Senior technical support for RFPs and desalination BOT/EPC tenders: process concepts, design documentation, vendor alignment, and multidisciplinary coordination to meet bid requirements and schedules.

Design management & construction supervision

Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary teams and external consultants across detailed design and execution; design reviews; interface control; upper construction supervision; erection support where relevant; production of as-made (as-built) drawings; and engineering input for project decisions.

Startup & commissioning

Startup support, root-cause analysis of water-quality and process issues, chemical and operational tuning, and handover that protects long-term plant performance. Optimization of design choices and operating facilities to reduce OPEX.

Aquaculture RAS water systems

Process and hydraulic design support for recirculating aquaculture systems — international RAS projects, water-quality troubleshooting, and stable system operation. Includes biosecurity design.

Industrial & demineralized water

Presale and project engineering for industrial water and gas treatment — food, pharma, and power-related demin systems — including equipment specs and procurement support.

WWTP & tertiary–quaternary treatment

Support for advanced wastewater treatment projects — tertiary and quaternary treatment design — drawing on municipal WWTP and environmental engineering background. Environmental surveys framed as adjacent assessment inputs where project scope requires them — not as a standalone surveyor practice.

Representative engagements

Independent and in-house design roles across desalination, industrial reuse, RAS, and municipal treatment.

A clear path from first conversation to scoped work

  1. Briefing

    Short call or email: scope, timeline, location, and what “done” looks like for your team. Honest fit check — including when Azimuth Water is not the right match.

  2. Scope & deliverables

    Agreed work package: design management, process packages, tender support, construction supervision, or commissioning — with interfaces, review cadence, and commercial terms.

  3. Execution

    Hands-on design leadership: coordination of disciplines and vendors, review of deliverables, and senior input to project decisions through the agreed stages.
