Senior Civil Engineer


An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Senior Civil Engineer to contribute to the delivery of complex infrastructure and development projects. This role will suit a technically capable professional who can lead civil engineering design work, coordinate multidisciplinary teams and provide practical solutions from concept through to construction.


You will be responsible for managing project deliverables, supporting junior engineers and maintaining high standards of technical quality. Working closely with clients, contractors, consultants and statutory authorities, you will help ensure that projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and within budget.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of civil engineering schemes, including highways, drainage, earthworks and infrastructure.
• Prepare, review and approve technical reports, drawings, specifications, calculations and contract documentation.
• Manage project programmes, budgets, resources and technical risks throughout the project lifecycle.
• Coordinate design activities with structural, environmental, geotechnical and other specialist teams.
• Provide technical guidance, mentoring and support to graduate and less experienced engineers.
• Attend site visits, design meetings and progress reviews, offering practical advice where required.
• Ensure compliance with relevant British Standards, codes of practice, health and safety requirements and environmental legislation.
• Support business development activities, including fee proposals, tender submissions and client presentations.

About you


You will hold a degree or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering and be professionally qualified, or working towards professional membership with an appropriate institution. Previous experience delivering civil engineering projects within a consultancy, contractor or client-side environment is essential.


Applicants should have strong knowledge of industry standards, design software and project management principles. Experience with drainage, highways, infrastructure or development-related schemes would be advantageous. Excellent communication, problem-solving and organisational skills are required, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and build effective working relationships.


In return, you can expect a varied workload, opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to high-quality engineering projects.
