The Opportunity

We are looking for a number of Civil Engineers to join our Energy Water and Resources team of civil engineers, apprentices, and technicians across our offices in the North/North‑West of England (Sheffield, Manchester, Warrington, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh). As a result of considerable growth we have roles for engineers of all grades across each of our offices in the North of the UK. These roles will include connections across all our offices in the region, the wider UK and globally.

Our client base is wide including water companies, energy suppliers, local authorities, developers, D&B contractors, government agencies, transport system owners and operators. We work across all stages of projects from initial concept all the way through to construction support. We are currently seeing considerable growth in detailed/construction design.
