Senior Civil Engineer

As a Senior Civil Engineer in our Civils and Bridges team within our Transportation business, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of transportation and critical national Infrastructure. We deliver a diverse range of significant and challenging projects across the UK and Ireland, within both Heavy and Light Rail environments, including the Southern Integrated Design (SID) Framework, Midland Main Line Upgrade as well as numerous station and depot projects.

In addition to our strong rail portfolio, the team contributes to a broad range of non‑rail civil engineering sectors, including highways, buildings, aviation infrastructure, local authority structures and wider infrastructure improvement schemes. This diversity provides opportunities to apply your structural expertise across multiple markets, supporting new build, renewal, maintenance and assessment projects that make a real difference to communities.

Beyond transportation and local infrastructure, we also play an important role in defence and nuclear programmes, delivering complex civil and structural engineering solutions for secure defence estates, nuclear licensed sites and national initiatives such as the Rolls‑Royce Small Modular Reactor (SMR) programme. This breadth of work allows you to contribute to a wide portfolio of nationally significant projects. You'll take pride in delivering high‑quality civil and structural designs across new build, renewal, maintenance and assessment schemes, ensuring robust, safe and enduring solutions.

You will collaborate with national and international design teams, bringing your technical insight, leadership and engineering judgement to deliver positive and sustainable outcomes for clients, communities and the environment.
