Civil Design Engineer - Water & Infrastructure Projects in Rotherham

Want to see your designs make a real-world impact? Join a growing multidisciplinary engineering business where your civil designs won't simply sit on a drawing board. They’ll help shape and enable critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the UK.

We’re looking for a proactive and technically strong Civil Design Engineer to join CHG Electrical, supporting the design and delivery of civil engineering solutions across clean and dirty water treatment sites. Working alongside mechanical, electrical and wider engineering specialists, you’ll develop everything from below-ground structures and foundations to site layouts, ducting, chambers and temporary works, ensuring designs are practical, buildable and ready for successful delivery.

If you’ve built your civil design experience within water, utilities or infrastructure and want greater project exposure, collaboration and progression, we’d love to talk.

The Role at a Glance:

• Location: Sheffield - Hybrid Working Available (1-2 days home based)
• Salary: £45,000 - £60,000 + Performance Bonus
• Full Time | Permanent
• Flexitime | 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays | CPD & Training

Projects: Water | Wastewater | Utilities | AMP Infrastructure

Design: Civil Layouts | Foundations | Below-Ground Structures | Ducting | Chambers | Temporary Works

Software: AutoCAD | Civil 3D | MicroDrainage or Equivalent

Knowledge: WIMES | CDM | Sewerage Sector Guidance | Building Regulations

Essential: Full UK Driving Licence

About You:

You’ll be an experienced Civil Design Engineer who understands that successful design is about more than technical accuracy. It needs to work safely, practically and efficiently once it reaches site. You’ll ideally have developed your experience within water, wastewater, utilities or infrastructure, giving you a good understanding of the standards, constraints and multidisciplinary coordination involved in complex engineering projects.

You’ll be comfortable working independently on your own designs while collaborating closely with engineers, consultants and delivery teams to solve problems and keep projects moving.

You’ll Bring:

• A degree, HNC or HND in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
• Around 3-5+ years’ civil design experience within utilities, infrastructure or water-related projects.
• Experience producing civil engineering drawings, designs and calculations.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Civil 3D and MicroDrainage or equivalent design software.
• Familiarity with WIMES, Sewerage Sector Guidance and Building Regulations.
• A sound understanding of CDM regulations and temporary and permanent works requirements.
• The ability to interpret topographical, geotechnical and structural data.
• Strong understanding of buildability and multidisciplinary design coordination.
• Good technical writing and communication skills.
• A collaborative, practical approach to solving engineering challenges.
• Full UK driving licence.

Why CHG Electrical?

You’ll be joining an established engineering business that’s continuing to broaden its capabilities and invest in its multidisciplinary engineering team. Rather than operating within an isolated civil design function, you’ll work alongside electrical, mechanical, ICA and project delivery specialists, giving you exposure to how complete infrastructure solutions come together from design through to construction and commissioning.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to significant AMP and utility infrastructure schemes while developing your expertise through mentoring, training and ongoing CPD.

You’ll Also Receive:

• £45,000 - £60,000 salary.
• Performance-related bonus.
• Hybrid working options.
• Flexible working hours.
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Training, mentoring and CPD opportunities.
• Exposure to high-profile AMP and utility infrastructure projects.
• Clear progression pathways within a growing engineering team.
