Berrys Shrewsbury, England, United Kingdom
Berrys
At Berrys, we’re all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services – planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation and business consultancy – to help our clients make the most of their assets.
You will be part of a multi‑disciplinary team of engineers, surveyors, archaeologists, planners and architects based in the Shrewsbury office. The business is large enough for a varied range of work and opportunities but small enough to provide autonomy and a chance to really get to know everyone, expanding your skills and building new connections.
Our Engineering team is an integral and fast‑expanding part of the firm, with extensive experience in delivering a broad range of development and infrastructure projects across many sectors. Our strengths lie in the attention to detail we apply to every aspect of a project – from outset to completion.
Civil Engineer or Senior Civil Engineer – Role Overview
Due to our continued success and service growth, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Civil Engineer or a Senior Civil Engineer. Candidates will also be considered for an Assistant, Graduate, or Apprentice Engineer grade, if appropriate. The role will be based in Shrewsbury but will require travel throughout the country.
We are seeking a candidate with enthusiasm and ambition to work in a driven, client‑focused team. You will work in a multi‑disciplinary environment and lead the engineering input on an exciting and varied portfolio of infrastructure schemes in the development sector. Your responsibilities will include the assessment and design of site levels, highways and junctions, sewers, SuDS and flood risk management infrastructure, from feasibility through to the construction phase.

You should have experience in leading tasks and designing schemes, good knowledge of industry best practice, guidance and standards, and be able to take responsibility for your design work. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the service within the business.

A minimum of a HNC/HND or degree (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering is required. Relevant professional qualification is desirable.
