As a Civil Design Engineer, you will contribute to the design and delivery of infrastructure and civil engineering projects across a wide range of sectors, including residential, education, commercial, development, and regeneration schemes.

• Assisting senior staff and directors with project delivery.
• Producing technical reports and supporting specification writing.
• Supporting project resource planning and deadline management.
• Contributing to CDM 2015 compliance as a Designer.
• Ensuring compliance with internal Quality Management Systems (QMS).

To be successful in this role, you will be:

• Recently chartered or actively working towards chartership.
• A creative and forward-thinking engineer with a passion for sustainable design.
• Experienced in civil engineering design within a consultancy or multidisciplinary environment.
• Confident in preparing and reviewing technical drawings and calculations.
• Comfortable working across multiple sectors and project stages.
• Strong in communication, collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
• Interested in mentoring and supporting junior engineers.
• Commercially aware with an understanding of project delivery and deadlines.
• Passionate about the built environment, architecture, and placemaking.

In return, my client offers a highly progressive and flexible working environment with a strong emphasis on wellbeing, development and sustainability, including:

• Competitive salary reflective of experience and market rates.
• Flexible working with core hours (10:30am-4:30pm) and early Friday finish.
• Hybrid working model (typically 3 days in the studio per week).
• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Additional annual leave days based on length of service.
• Option to buy/sell holiday or bank leave for extended sabbaticals.
