Civil Design Engineer

Position: Civil Design Engineer (Permanent)
Civil Engineer - Residential Infrastructure
Leeds or Wakefield

An established and growing Civil & Structural Engineering Consultancy is looking to appoint a Civil Engineer to join its busy civils team, working on a strong pipeline of residential-led projects. The business has a practical, down-to-earth approach to design and values engineers who are comfortable taking responsibility and getting on with the job without needing constant direction.

This role is well suited to a Civil Engineer with around 2-4 years' consultancy experience who already has a good grounding in residential infrastructure. The successful candidate will be involved in a broad range of civils work from early feasibility through to detailed design and delivery. Typical projects include feasibility studies, flood risk assessments, drainage assessments and pre-planning support, progressing through to Section 38, Section 104 and Section 278 design.

There is a strong focus on SuDS, private drainage, external works and earthworks design, so experience across these areas is essential.

Day to day, you will be expected to use PDS/Flow confidently and apply it to real-world residential schemes. You will be trusted to produce technically sound designs, coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders, and manage their own workload with minimal hand-holding. This is very much a role for someone who understands the demands of residential infrastructure and is comfortable taking ownership of their outputs.

The Consultancy offers a supportive but non-corporate environment, where engineers are encouraged to develop their technical skills and progress naturally as their experience grows. In addition to a competitive basic salary, the role comes with a bonus scheme linked to both individual performance and company profits, pension contributions through auto enrolment, a health plan, free parking and flexible working arrangements. There is also ICE-approved mentoring available, making this a strong option for someone working towards professional development alongside hands-on project experience.

The position can be based in either the Leeds or Wakefield office and would suit a Civil Engineer who enjoys residential work, wants exposure to a wide variety of schemes, and is looking for a role where they're trusted to deliver from day one.
