The Opportunity

We are looking to recruit an experienced Civil Engineer to join our team of bright professionals in our Civil Engineering team in our Midlands offices. From your first day, you'll join an unrivalled community of experts, where everyone is supported in their career path and encouraged to work towards a professional qualification or develop their skills and experience in new and exciting ways.

Our current projects are varied, exciting, and often high-profile, including prestigious buildings, state-of-the-art transport infrastructure, transformational energy projects, flood defence and recovery projects, and sustainable infrastructure for large residential developments. This varied project portfolio provides opportunities for you to learn and grow your experience and capabilities.

We work across all phases of projects—from advisory and concept to detailed design and construction supervision. We deliver projects for a wide range of clients and organisations, including government agencies (both national and local), local authorities, private developers, contractors, and utility/energy companies. We collaborate on projects across the UK and overseas as part of a diverse global organisation, and we are looking for candidates with cross-discipline exposure who are happy to work alongside our collaborative and engaging colleagues in other disciplines.

You will be responsible for defined parts of design projects and individual projects, with the ability to check the quality and accuracy of your own and others’ work, whilst leading and supporting others in the delivery of their work. Presenting design options and solutions is an integral part of the role, as well as working with clients, customers, and colleagues to imaginatively develop solutions to meet the desired outcomes of our projects.

Whilst you will be given responsibilities from the outset, you will have the full support of the team, and we will give you the opportunity to take on more as you progress and broaden your skills.

Is this role right for you?

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual with the drive to develop within our dynamic team in the Midlands. The role will be based in our Nottingham or Birmingham office. Site visits will also be required, along with regular visits to other offices.

Candidates should be degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or a related field and be close to achieving, or have recently achieved, Chartered or Incorporated status with the Institution of Civil Engineers.

You will have experience working in a civil engineering design environment, with expertise in at least one of our core areas of operation:

·       Masterplan/site development

·       Sustainable drainage designs and modelling

·       Flood risk management

·       Earthworks assessments

·       Highway, access road or external works design

·       Utilities coordination

·       Experience of working in an energy environment would be an advantage.

·       You will have experience using CAD (Civil 3D or Bentley OpenRoads or similar), MicroDrainage, and other digital tools.
