Civil Engineer - Highway & Drainage Design

Location:

Cambridge

Our client is looking to bring on a Civil Engineer to join their growing infrastructure team. This is a design-focused role working primarily on highway and drainage engineering projects, supporting developments across a wide range of sectors.

This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys being hands‑on with design and technical delivery. You'll work closely with the highway and drainage teams, supporting projects from concept through detailed design.

• Produce detailed highway design packages for a range of infrastructure projects
• Support and coordinate with the drainage engineer on integrated designs
• Prepare technical drawings, layouts, and models
• Assist with design reports, specifications, and technical documentation
• Work under senior engineers while gradually taking on more technical ownership
• Participate in design reviews and project coordination meetings

This is primarily a design role, not a project management‑heavy position.

Projects are largely driven by housing developers, with additional work across:

• Commercial developments
• Retail and office schemes
• Schools and institutional projects

• 5-9 years of civil engineering experience
• Strong background in highway design
• Exposure to drainage design and multidisciplinary coordination
• Transportation planning experience is a plus, but not required

• AutoCAD (required)
• Microsoft Office (required)
• 3D modelling/design software (preferred)
• Micro Drainage (ideal, but not essential)
