The business has a strong reputation across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments, offering engineers the chance to remain technically hands-on while continuing to progress their careers.

The role will see you managing multiple projects simultaneously, producing and reviewing technical designs, supporting junior engineers and ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. You'll work closely with clients and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle while maintaining a strong focus on technical quality and service delivery.
Typical project work will include drainage design, highways design, residential infrastructure, development infrastructure and wider civil engineering schemes. You'll also play an important role in checking work, allocating tasks to junior team members and supporting their ongoing development.

You'll join a collaborative team environment where you'll be trusted with project responsibility, client interaction and mentoring opportunities while continuing to develop your technical and commercial skills.
The business also offers excellent flexibility, a strong benefits package and a varied workload across a range of development and infrastructure projects.
