Senior Civil Design Engineer - Energy in City of Westminster

As a Senior Civil Engineer, you will be involved in projects across the full lifecycle—from early-stage concept design through to detailed design and site support. You will work within a dynamic, multidisciplinary team delivering innovative engineering solutions across a wide range of complex and technically challenging energy projects. Your work will span cutting‑edge hydropower and pumped storage schemes such as Coire Glas, Koysha, and Dinorwig, alongside broader energy projects including energy‑from‑waste facilities, nuclear, hydrogen generation, and transmission and distribution infrastructure.

You will collaborate closely with project managers, technical leaders, and clients, contributing to both advisory and delivery roles. This will include everything from concept design and Owner’s Engineer duties through to contractor‑facing detailed design, troubleshooting, installation support, and due diligence activities. With the flexibility to be based in any of our UK offices, you’ll be part of a well‑established, forward‑thinking consultancy known for delivering high‑quality outcomes and strong client value.

By contributing across multiple sectors and project stages, you will help ensure that engineering solutions are both technically robust and practically deliverable. Your ability to collaborate across disciplines—integrating civil, structural, geotechnical, and M&E inputs—will be key to delivering fully coordinated and effective designs. You will also bring value through your involvement in advisory and assurance activities, helping clients make informed decisions and manage risk throughout the project lifecycle. Through your technical expertise, attention to detail, and problem‑solving mindset, you will help drive quality, innovation, and continuous improvement across the team. Ultimately, your contribution will support the delivery of impactful projects that play a crucial role in advancing the UK’s transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
