Build the Future with Us

As a Principal Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering innovative civil engineering solutions for a diverse client base — from local authorities to national developers. No two days are the same. You’ll work on a wide variety of challenging projects, balancing preliminary and detailed design across roads, levels, drainage, and external works — in both public and private realms. From inception to commissioning, your expertise will help bring projects to life and make a lasting impact.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead and contribute to multi-disciplinary projects, managing design of highways, drainage, and external works.
  • Use industry-leading software (Civil 3D, AutoCAD, MicroDrainage, or PDS) to deliver innovative, efficient designs.
  • Engage with planning authorities, statutory undertakers, and national bodies to shape solutions that work for all.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients, understanding their unique needs and building long-term relationships.
  • Mentor and support junior engineers, helping the next generation of talent grow and thrive.

What you’ll bring

  • Strong technical expertise in Civil Engineering design, from concept through to delivery.
  • Proficiency in design software and confidence in adapting to new tools.
  • Commercial awareness and a clear understanding of client needs across public and private sectors.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships at every level.
  • A collaborative, positive mindset — with the drive to lead, mentor, and make a real impact.

Why join BWB?

This is your chance to step into a role where you’ll lead from the front, influence the future of civil engineering, and see your work make a difference on a national scale. At BWB, we value innovation, collaboration, and ambition — and we’ll give you the tools, freedom, and support to thrive.
