Job description

Highways Senior Engineer (UK Wide) As a Senior Design Highways Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of delivering technical excellence, innovation, and safety across a wide range of transportation projects. You'll take ownership of key design deliverables, identifying opportunities for automation and process efficiencies, and ensuring scope changes are escalated appropriately to maintain programme and budget integrity.

You'll collaborate closely with discipline leads and project stakeholders to produce high-quality outcomes, while also mentoring and supporting less experienced team members-helping to build capability and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Jacobs is a recognised leader in the transportation sector, partnering with major clients such as National Highways, Transport Scotland, the Welsh Government, and global contractors. Internationally, we contribute to transformative mega-projects like NEOM The Line and King Khalid International Airport. Locally, we're making a tangible impact in communities across the UK, delivering schemes for :

Manchester Airport Group
United Utilities
Cheshire East Council
West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Worcestershire County Council
Birmingham City Council
Derbyshire County Council
West of England Combined Authority

With opportunities available across our growing hub locations in the UK, this is your chance to shape the future of transport infrastructure-both globally and in your own community.

Design experience in the built environment and transportation.

Attained a relevant professional qualification, for example a degree in engineering, and CEng / IEng or equivalent qualifications or work experience.

Technical experience of delivering local and / or major highways projects or the land side alignment elements in adjacent markets such as Water or Aviation.

Good interpersonal, organisational and communication skills (both written and verbal) and ability to communicate different design options to internal and external stakeholders.

Thorough understanding of commonly used design standards such as Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works (MCHW) or international equivalents.

Sound knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation and a passion for fostering safety and wellbeing.

Capable of managing a workload which may be subject to change at short notice and raising early warnings.

Ability to work independently and effectively within a global multi-disciplinary team.
