An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Civil Design Engineer to join the growing London team of a highly respected, employee-owned engineering consultancy with a long-established reputation across the UK.

This is a fantastic role for an engineer who wants exposure to a broad and genuinely varied civil engineering workload - combining civils around structures with high-profile standalone infrastructure and development-led civils projects.

A strong reputation for civil and structural engineering excellence

A varied portfolio of projects across the built environment

A people-first, collaborative culture

Long-term investment in staff development and progression

Assist with S278 / S38 highway design packages and approvals processes

Prepare and review technical drawings, calculations and reports

Coordinate with structural engineers, architects, contractors and wider project teams

Contribute to project delivery from feasibility and planning through to detailed design

Support sustainable design solutions, including SuDS and practical low-carbon infrastructure approaches

Use software such as Civil 3D, Causeway Flow (or equivalent), and AutoCAD
