Posted: October 7, 2026

My client is a long established, leading Civil Engineering Contractor.

Due to planned growth and an influx of work in their Southwestern Region, they are looking to appoint, on a permanent basis or a long term contract basis (12 months+) a Senior Engineer to work on projects in the Southwest and initially on two projects in Crewkerne and Glastonbury.

Initially, you will be working on civil engineering projects predominantly in the water and wastewater sectors as part of a major framework for the next 5+ years.

My client would prefer someone on a permanent basis but would consider someone residing locally who would be seeking a long term contract.
