Engineer (Development Infrastructure)

We are currently looking for an Engineer who is ambitious, enthusiastic and determined to join our Development Infrastructure team. This full-time role is based in our Edinburgh office and can be worked flexibly with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office and the option of adjusted start and finish times.

What does the role involve? Working as part of the Development Infrastructure team on a variety of projects in the residential, energy and commercial sectors, you will act as an Engineer to undertake and check the delivery of design solutions and coordinate with other disciplines. You will be involved in projects from conception to completion including:

• Supporting the Project Manager to clarify the project brief, agree deliverables, key milestones, project methodology;
• Undertaking elements of the detailed design and the checking of outputs as directed: e.g. calculations, models, drawings, sketches, reports etc to achieve the optimum solution for the project;
• Assessing, documenting and communicating design changes to the Project Manager.

You will take ownership and responsibility for the quality of work you produce, ensuring that work is delivered in line with the agreed timescales and ensuring you understand and comply with our Company Integrated Management system and all relevant health and safety legislation. You will continue to learn from experienced people who share a passion for working together with our clients to deliver technical excellence. As you develop, you will be given opportunity to work more independently.

To Be Successful In This Role You’ll Have:

• A desire to work in a team, and a great attitude - collaboration will come naturally to you.
• An academic qualification, such as a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or equivalent. Ideally this will be accredited by the Engineering Council so we can help you work toward a professional qualification with the ICE.
• Some relevant post-qualification engineering design experience and project delivery in residential, energy and commercial sectors.
• Working knowledge of design software such as Civil 3D AutoCAD experience.
• Experience of drainage design tools, such as InfoDrainage, or Flow.
• Strong analytic and problem-solving skills and an interest in finding quick, innovative and practical solutions.
• The ability to organise and prioritise your workload to ensure that project timescales are met.
• The ability to travel to sites and offices within the UK when required.

What’s in it for you? From the moment you join us, you will receive the training you need. You’ll be embedded directly into a team that cares about you, because we know we can’t succeed individually unless we succeed as a team. Due to our open structure, there will also be ample opportunities for upward progression for those who show the right aptitude.
