Shape the future of airport infrastructure on projects that keep the UK moving. If you're finding yourself delivering the same designs, on the same projects, for the same clients, this could be the opportunity that reignites your enthusiasm for aviation engineering. You'll join a specialist team delivering major airport infrastructure projects across the UK, giving you the chance to work on a diverse range of airside and landside developments, influence project outcomes and develop your career within a growing aviation business.

Whether you're motivated by technically challenging projects, greater responsibility, or the opportunity to work alongside recognised industry experts, this role offers the platform to take the next step.

What's in it for you?

  • Work on high-profile airport infrastructure projects across the UK
  • Exposure to runway, taxiway, apron and wider airfield developments
  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements designed around you
  • The opportunity to influence project delivery from concept through to construction
  • Clear progression opportunities within a growing aviation team
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary specialists across infrastructure, transportation and aviation sectors
  • Professional development and support towards further qualifications and career progression

The Role

As a Senior Aviation Engineer, you'll play a key role in the design and delivery of airport infrastructure projects, helping clients develop and enhance critical aviation assets. You'll be involved in a broad range of engineering activities including:

  • Airfield pavement design and assessment
  • Runway, taxiway and apron infrastructure schemes
  • Drainage and civil infrastructure design
  • Feasibility studies and technical reports
  • Design development and detailed engineering
  • Technical reviews and quality assurance
  • Client engagement and stakeholder management
  • Supporting junior engineers and contributing to project delivery

You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver practical, innovative and sustainable engineering solutions that support the future growth of UK aviation.

About You

You’ll likely have experience within aviation, airport infrastructure or civil engineering projects and enjoy solving complex engineering challenges. Your background may include:

  • Aviation, airport or airfield infrastructure design
  • Civil engineering design within transportation or infrastructure sectors
  • Pavement engineering, drainage or highways design
  • Working knowledge of relevant aviation standards and regulations
  • Experience using industry-standard design software such as Civil 3D, AutoCAD or similar
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • A desire to develop your career within a specialist aviation engineering environment

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys taking ownership of projects, collaborating with others and delivering quality engineering solutions.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Many engineering roles promise exciting projects. Few can offer the opportunity to contribute directly to infrastructure that supports millions of passengers every year. You’ll be joining a team with a strong project pipeline, long-term investment and a genuine commitment to developing its people. That means access to interesting work, supportive leadership and opportunities to progress your career without needing to move elsewhere to find your next challenge.
