An established UK engineering consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior or Principal Civil Engineer to strengthen its development infrastructure team. This is a technically hands-on position for an engineer with a strong background in UK highways and infrastructure design. You'll take ownership of projects and deliver work independently rather than moving into a predominantly managerial role.

The role

  • You'll be responsible for the design and delivery of development infrastructure schemes from initial concept through technical approval and construction, including:
    • S38 & S278 highway schemes
    • Highway alignments, levels and detailed design
    • Drainage and infrastructure design
    • Civil 3D & Causeway Flow
    • Technical drawings, calculations and supporting documentation
    • Liaison with Local Authorities and other approving bodies
    • Technical checking and review of designs
    • Taking ownership of projects with limited supervision

What we're looking for

  • Significant experience within a UK engineering consultancy and a strong understanding of UK development infrastructure and Local Authority approval processes.
  • Highly proficient in Civil 3D and Causeway Flow, with demonstrable experience delivering S38 and S278 schemes through to technical approval and construction.
  • Experience with TUFLOW, flood risk or wider drainage modelling would be advantageous but isn't essential.
  • This position would particularly suit an experienced Senior looking for greater project responsibility or an established Principal who wants to remain technically involved in design and delivery.

Location: Lincoln is the preferred office, although strong candidates based around Nottingham, Peterborough or Manchester will also be considered. Hybrid working: typically 2–3 days per week in the office.
