  • Manage Section 278, Section 38 and other highway agreements through the approval process.
  • Liaise with local highway authorities, clients and external stakeholders to deliver successful project outcomes.
  • Provide technical leadership, mentoring and line management to engineers within the team.
  • Support business development activities and contribute to winning new work.
Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience in highway design within a consultancy environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
  • Experience delivering highway schemes in accordance with DMRB, Manual for Streets and local authority design standards.
  • Extensive knowledge of Section 278 and Section 38 agreements and the associated approval processes.
  • Excellent communication and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Experience mentoring and developing junior engineers.
  • Chartered status (CEng or IEng), or working towards chartership, would be advantageous.
What's on Offer
  • £50,000 - £65,000 (depending on experience)
  • 24 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • 7% employer pension contribution
  • Private healthcare
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Clear career progression into senior leadership
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly respected consultancy that is committed to investing in its people.

You'll work on a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects, receive ongoing professional development, and be fully supported towards Chartered Engineer status if required, with genuine opportunities for long-term career progression.
