Are you ready to take up a vital role in shaping some of our exciting projects? How about joining our talented team, where everyone has a voice, and together we face our clients' problems head-on. It's a diverse and inclusive work environment where world-class talent knows no distinctions.
We know that different people have different priorities, which is why we're here to support you. Flexible and remote working is a central part of our culture. So talk to us about what's ideal for you - from reduced weeks to buying more leave over school holidays.

Join as a Senior Highways Engineer in our Transportation team. We work on projects of all sizes, scopes and scales, from the large A428 ("Black Cat Roundabout") Project to the Active Travel Schemes. Our projects are bringing digitalisation to highways and transforming the way people live and work. And you'll be part of these collaborative design teams based across the country and the world. It's an exciting era for UK highways, with the rise of intelligent networks, autonomous technology and mobility as a service. To lead in emerging areas that interest you, all you need to do is speak up and take the initiative.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Highway Engineer to join our practice in Cambridge, Epsom or Chelmsford (you will be able to work remotely for up to 2 days a week).

  • Be accountable for checking, certifying, and authorising for issue: designs, documents, approvals, and reports.
  • Manage graduate engineers and technicians to deliver work packages - coordinating engineering resources.
  • Work collaboratively with clients and key stakeholders as necessary to deliver schemes/projects.
  • Mentor and upskill more junior staff helping them develop professionally and progress towards professional qualifications.
