Are you an experienced Civils Design Manager looking for a role where you can stay hands-on while also shaping and growing a team? We have an exciting opportunity for a driven and versatile design leader to join a well-established civil engineering contractor focussing mainly on the renewables sector.

About The Role

This role combines technical delivery with team leadership. You’ll play a key part in producing design outputs while also developing and mentoring a growing in-house team. You’ll work closely with project teams, clients, and external consultants to ensure innovative, cost-effective, and buildable solutions across a range of civil engineering and renewables projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design process across civil engineering projects, ensuring compliance and innovation.
  • Be hands-on in developing drawings, calculations, and technical reports.
  • Build and mentor a growing internal design team.
  • Collaborate with project delivery teams to provide practical and buildable solutions.
  • Manage external design consultants and ensure smooth coordination.
  • Drive value engineering and efficient design methodologies.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards.

About You

  • Strong technical background in civil engineering design.
  • Comfortable producing design outputs, not just managing the process.
  • Proven ability to lead and develop a team.
  • Experience working in a contractor or consultancy environment.
  • Knowledge of design software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or similar.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach.

    • Why Join Us?

  • Work on a variety of impactful civil engineering projects.
  • A role that blends technical hands-on work with leadership.
  • Opportunities to shape and develop your own team.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • A forward-thinking company that values innovation and practical solutions.

    • If you’re a dynamic and technically minded design professional looking to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!
