Senior Civil Design Engineer This is an opportunity to join a well-established independent Consultancy that has been delivering Civil, Structural and Geo-Environmental Engineering solutions for over 35 years. With offices in Yorkshire and projects delivered nationwide, the Consultancy has developed an enviable reputation for providing practical, commercially focused engineering advice across the residential, commercial, leisure and industrial sectors. A significant proportion of its work comes from repeat business and long-standing client relationships, built on a straightforward approach, trusted technical advice and a genuine commitment to adding value throughout the design process. The team takes pride in developing lean, efficient engineering solutions rather than simply over-designing schemes, working closely with clients, architects and contractors to overcome site constraints, improve development potential and deliver the most effective outcome possible. Supported by an in-house Civil, Structural and Geo-Environmental capability, projects benefit from a highly coordinated approach from initial concept through to construction. As a Senior Civil Engineer, you will take a leading role in the delivery of infrastructure projects, managing schemes from concept through to completion whilst supporting the continued growth and development of the Civil Engineering team. Working closely with Directors and Associates, you will provide technical leadership across a varied portfolio of projects whilst maintaining responsibility for project delivery, client relationships and commercial performance. You will oversee the design and coordination of highways, drainage and development infrastructure schemes, including site appraisals, drainage strategies, Flood Risk Assessments, SuDS assessments, site levels design, cut and fill analysis, private and adoptable drainage systems, highway designs, earthworks strategies and external works packages. The role will also involve securing technical approvals through Section 104, 106, 38 and 278 agreements whilst working closely with local authorities, water companies, Lead Local Flood Authorities and other stakeholders. You will play a key role throughout the project lifecycle, contributing from initial feasibility and concept design through planning, detailed design and construction support. You will be expected to identify practical and cost-effective engineering solutions, challenge layouts where necessary and help clients maximise the potential of their developments whilst maintaining compliance with current standards and legislation. Alongside project delivery responsibilities, you will act as a key point of contact for clients, lead project meetings, contribute to fee proposals and business development activities and help strengthen existing client relationships. You will also provide mentorship and technical support to Graduate Engineers, Project Engineers and Technicians, supporting their progression towards professional qualifications and helping to maintain high technical standards across the team. Applicants should be degree qualified in Civil Engineering and possess strong experience delivering infrastructure and drainage designs within a Consultancy environment. A thorough understanding of development-led Civil Engineering projects is required, together with experience in highways design, drainage strategies, SuDS and technical approval processes including Sections 38, 278, 104 and 106 agreements. You will be proficient in Civil 3D and MicroDrainage or InfoDrainage and be comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously. Experience liaising with local authorities, the Environment Agency, Lead Local Flood Authorities and other approval bodies will be highly advantageous. This position would suit an experienced Civil Engineer with approximately five to ten years' experience who is either Chartered or working towards Chartership through the ICE. The successful candidate will be looking for a role that offers greater responsibility, leadership opportunities and a clear progression route towards Principal Engineer or Team Leader level. In return, you will join a Consultancy that combines the technical expertise and project diversity of a larger business with the flexibility, approachability and close-knit culture of an independent practice. Alongside a varied workload and significant client exposure, you will have the opportunity to influence project delivery, mentor junior engineers and play a key role in the future growth of the Civil Engineering team. For more information about this role, please contact Sam at Calibre Search or click apply. Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age.
