I am working with a growing, design-led Engineering Consultancy with a strong presence across Yorkshire and the Midlands that is looking to appoint a Project level Civil Engineer with a clear focus on drainage to join their Leeds office. This is a genuinely good opportunity for a Civil Engineer who enjoys owning drainage packages and wants to be part of a modern, people-focused Consultancy that gives engineers autonomy, flexibility and proper support toward progression.
The role will see you delivering drainage strategies across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments from feasibility through to detailed design. You will be producing sustainable drainage designs (SuDS), flood risk assessments, drainage statements and technical reports, while managing the approval process for Section 104, 106 and 185 agreements. You will be liaising directly with Local Authorities and Water Companies and working closely with internal Civil, Structural, Geotechnical and Environmental teams to deliver coordinated, commercially aware solutions.
They are looking for someone who has consultancy experience within the UK and a strong understanding of current drainage standards and statutory processes. You will be confident using MicroDrainage, Causeway Flow or similar software and comfortable managing multiple live projects. This role suits someone who is technically capable, organised and motivated, and ideally working toward Chartership.
What makes this business stand out is its culture and flexibility. They offer unlimited annual leave, flexible and hybrid working arrangements, private healthcare and life insurance, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, pension contribution, strong training and development investment and a discretionary year-end bonus. The environment is collaborative without being corporate, and they actively encourage autonomy and progression rather than micromanagement. There is a strong social culture and a genuine emphasis on wellbeing.
If you are a drainage-focused Civil Engineer at Project level who wants more ownership, flexibility and long-term development, this is well worth a confidential conversation.
