Engineer - Residential Development
Buckinghamshire
£60-65,000 plus package
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Engineer to join a well-established residential developer delivering high-quality housing schemes across the Northern Home Counties region.
This role would suit either an experienced Development Engineer from a housebuilding background or a Highways/Infrastructure Engineer looking to transition into residential development. The key requirement is a strong understanding of highways and drainage design and the ability to critically review and interrogate technical information to ensure designs are practical, compliant and fit for purpose.
This is not a setting out or temporary works role.
The Role

Key responsibilities include:
Reviewing and interrogating highways, drainage and infrastructure designs
Coordinating external engineering consultants
Ensuring designs comply with S38, S104 and statutory authority requirements
Identifying technical risks, buildability issues and value engineering opportunities
Liaising with Local Authorities, utility providers and approval bodies
Supporting the wider technical team throughout the development lifecycle
Assisting with the discharge of engineering-related planning conditions
Ensuring engineering information is delivered accurately and on programme
About You
Experience within highways, infrastructure or residential development engineering
Strong understanding of adoptable roads and drainage design
Knowledge of S38, S104 and related technical approval processes
Ability to review and challenge technical designs confidently
Good communication and stakeholder management skills
Residential developer experience would be advantageous but is not essential
Civil Engineering or related qualification preferred
This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected developer with a strong pipeline of projects and a collaborative team environment.
