Drainage Engineer

Are you a passionate Drainage or SuDS Engineer looking to make your mark in a modern, forward-thinking consultancy? We are seeking an Engineer to join our growing Water team in Manchester. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your technical skills on innovative projects within a company that prioritises ambition, cultural fit, and a can-do attitude over a perfect CV. If you're tired of cookie-cutter designs and want to be challenged in a supportive and dynamic environment, this is the role for you.

You will be joining an innovative, employee-owned consultancy that is breaking the mould of traditional civil engineering. As a key member of our Manchester water team, you will play a vital role in our expansion, focusing on SuDS and drainage projects. While you will be supported by a strong senior team, we are looking for someone with the drive and ambition to grow with us and become a future technical expert.

• Contributing to the technical delivery of a variety of water management and SuDS projects.
• Working within a close-knit team to develop innovative and effective design solutions.
• Learning from senior experts and contributing to a collaborative team environment.
• Helping to build the presence and capability of our growing Manchester office.

Salary range £37,000 - £44,000 per year reflective of an Engineer with experience.

• The company is employee-owned, which means you share in its success.
• Potential for a tax-free bonus of up to £3,500 each year, with the total bonus amount weighted according to your grade and length of service, rewarding loyalty and contribution.

This is a permanent, full-time position.

You’ll be part of a company with a young demographic and a vibrant, progressive culture that values innovation and challenges the norm. The Manchester office is a growing team of six, with strong ties to the wider 75-person London office, creating a "one company" feel. It's a highly social environment with company-wide sports teams, clubs, and regular team days out.

• Experience in the water sector, with a background in SuDS/Drainage.
• A strong drive and ambition to learn, develop, and be challenged beyond standard designs.
• An aptitude for technical work and a passion for your specialism are more important than top university marks.
• A collaborative mindset and the right character to fit into a young, social, and progressive team culture.
• Experience working in the UK is essential.
• A stable career history is highly valued; we are looking for individuals who want to commit and grow long-term.
• We can consider visa sponsorship for the right candidate.
