A Civil Engineer with 4-7 years' experience? This is an opportunity to step into a senior-level role where you will take technical ownership of projects, mentor junior engineers and play a key part in delivering high-quality development infrastructure across the UK.
You will be based in the Derby office, working within a well-established civil and structural engineering team while contributing to projects nationwide. The workload is deliberately varied, ranging from bespoke residential schemes and commercial developments through to large industrial sites and major residential projects of several hundred units.

- Leading highways design including S38 and S278 works
- Preparing and reviewing drainage strategies and detailed S104 and S185 designs
- Designing SuDS features, earthworks and adoptable infrastructure
- Checking drawings, calculations and technical reports
- Liaising with clients, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams
- Supporting Flood Risk Assessments and planning submissions
- Mentoring junior engineers and supporting project coordination
About you: You will ideally have:
- A degree in Civil Engineering
- 4 to 7 years' UK consultancy experience
- Strong highways and drainage design background
- Confident use of AutoCAD and drainage software
- A client-facing, proactive and technically thorough approach
Eligibility to Apply: Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
