🚨 Civil Engineer (Below Ground Drainage) – London | £Up to 55k
Energi People has been exclusively retained to recruit the first permanent dedicated drainage engineer for a forward-thinking London-based civil and structural engineering consultancy. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new service line and play a pivotal role in the growth of the civil engineering team.
About the Client
* Delivering high-quality projects across housing, education, community, residential, and worship sectors.
* Focused on sustainability, low-carbon design, and collaboration.
* Committed to mentoring engineers and creating long-lasting, environmentally conscious buildings.
The Role
* Lead below ground drainage design across a variety of projects.
* Produce surface water management reports and associated technical documentation.
* Solve technical challenges independently, with minimal supervision — ideal for engineers progressing through chartership.
* Hands-on initially, with a clear pathway to senior/leadership responsibilities and future team management.
* Develop the drainage service into a revenue-generating offering.
What We’re Looking For
* 3–4+ years’ civil engineering experience, with strong below ground drainage expertise.
* Confident, proactive, and able to work independently.
* Ambitious with an interest in growing into leadership and managing a team.
* Experience in housing, community, sports projects, or with tier 1 contractors is advantageous.
* Strong problem-solving skills and a self-starter attitude.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Immediate start in a hands-on, strategically important position.
* Be the first permanent drainage engineer, establishing a new service line.
* Join a consultancy that values sustainability, collaboration, and mentoring.
* Clear path to senior or management responsibilities.
* Competitive salary up to £55,000 with long-term growth potential.
