The OpportunityA leading engineering consultancy is looking for an experienced Senior Civil Engineer to join its London team.

, rather than a purely highways or infrastructure-focused Civil Engineer.

- Supporting projects from concept through to construction
- Liaising with clients, architects, contractors and other consultants
- Reviewing technical work and supporting junior engineers

- 7+ years' relevant experience
- Strong experience in building drainage design
- Good working knowledge of Part H of the Building Regulations
- Experience delivering civil engineering designs within a consultancy environment
- Strong understanding of foul and surface water drainage
