Their civils team works closely alongside wider multidisciplinary design teams delivering projects ranging from smaller private developments through to larger infrastructure and regeneration schemes involving highways design, SuDS, drainage strategies, FRA work, and development infrastructure packages. Due to continued project wins and a growing workload, they are now looking to strengthen leadership within the civils function.

• Supporting bids, fee proposals, and business development activity
Projects are likely to include:
• Residential developments
• Commercial and mixed-use schemes
• Infrastructure and highways projects
• Drainage and flood mitigation schemes
• Development infrastructure packages
Requirements
• Strong UK consultancy experience within civil infrastructure engineering
• Significant highways, drainage, and FRA experience
• Experience delivering S38, S278, and S104-related schemes
• Strong understanding of DMRB, SuDS Manual, and UK infrastructure standards
• Proficiency in Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and MicroDrainage/InfoDrainage
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and mentoring staff
• Strong client-facing and project management capability
• Chartered Engineer status preferred or working toward chartership
