You will be involved in projects from conception to completion including; supporting the Project Manager to clarify the project brief, agree deliverables, key milestones, project methodology; undertaking elements of the detailed design and the checking of outputs as directed: e.g. calculations, models, drawings, sketches, reports etc to achieve the optimum solution for the project; assessing, documenting and communicating design changes to the Project Manager.

This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company that is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.

• A desire to work in a team, and a great attitude - collaboration will come naturally to you.
• An academic qualification, such as a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or equivalent. Ideally this will be accredited by the Engineering Council so we can help you work toward a professional qualification with the ICE.
• Some relevant post-qualification engineering design experience and project delivery in residential, energy and commercial sectors. This could be either pre-planning services, or post-planning detailed design experience. To be considered for the Engineer post, a minimum of two years’ post graduate experience would be expected.
• Working knowledge of design software such as Civil 3D
• AutoCAD experience
• Experience of drainage design tools, such as Info Drainage, or Flow.
• Some experience of helping to provide resource or commercial management on projects.
• Project Management skills would be desirable but not essential
• Strong analytic and problem-solving skills and an interest in finding quick, innovative and practical solutions.
• The ability to organise and prioritise your workload to ensure that project timescales are met.
• The ability to travel to sites and offices within the UK when required, a driving license would be helpful but not essential to the role.

From the moment you join us, you will receive the training you need. You’ll be embedded directly into a team that cares about you, because we know we can’t succeed individually unless we succeed as a team. Due to our open structure, there will also be ample opportunities for upward progression for those who show the right aptitude.

We hire for potential, not just a checklist. If you believe you have the passion and transferable skills to succeed, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you, even if your CV doesn't perfectly match the description.
