Are you a Senior Civil Engineer looking for your next contract opportunity?

We're working with a leading multidisciplinary engineering and design organisation that is looking to strengthen its London team with an experienced Senior Civil Engineer.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on technically challenging projects across sectors including data centres, healthcare and commercial developments. You will take responsibility for the development and coordination of civil engineering designs, working closely with other engineering and design disciplines throughout the project lifecycle.

The position offers hybrid working, with two days per week required in the London office.

The role will suit an experienced engineer who is comfortable taking ownership of civil design packages, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and supporting the successful delivery of complex projects.

• Lead and develop civil engineering designs covering site levels, drainage networks, roads, pavements and earthworks.
• Undertake surface water drainage and flood-related design assessments.
• Design and coordinate below-ground utilities, including ducts, pipework and chambers.
• Produce and review designs using AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
• Undertake drainage and hydraulic modelling using Info Drainage or similar software.
• Coordinate civil designs with structural, architectural and building services teams.
• Manage technical information and documentation for statutory approvals and submissions.
• Support sewer connection, adoption and public highway approval processes.
• Lead engagement with local authorities, Building Control, the Environment Agency, utility providers and other relevant stakeholders.
• Review designs and ensure compliance with applicable UK standards, regulations and project requirements.
• Provide technical input and guidance to other members of the project team.

• Strong experience working within civil engineering design, ideally within a multidisciplinary consultancy environment.
• Proven ability to independently manage and deliver civil engineering design packages.
• Strong experience in drainage, highways, levels, earthworks and external works design.
• Good understanding of below-ground utilities and multidisciplinary design coordination.
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
• Experience using drainage modelling software such as Info Drainage.
• Experience working with statutory authorities and managing technical approval processes.
• Familiarity with sewer adoption, connection and highway approvals.
• Knowledge of Section 104, Section 106 and Section 278 processes would be advantageous.
• Good understanding of British Standards, Eurocodes and Building Regulations.
• Understanding of BIM-led project delivery, with Revit experience beneficial but not essential.
• Degree qualified in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Chartered, or progressing towards chartership with the ICE or an equivalent professional institution, would be advantageous.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Civil Engineer to join a busy multidisciplinary team on a contract basis, taking ownership of civil design delivery across a varied portfolio of technically challenging projects.
