We know that different people have different priorities, which is why we're here to support you. Flexible and remote working is a central part of our culture. So talk to us about what's ideal for you - from reduced weeks to buying more leave over school holidays.

Join us as a Highways Engineer in our Transportation team and help drive the digital transformation of the highways sector. You'll work within collaborative design teams across the UK and beyond, shaping projects that improve how people live and move.

As part of our Scotland Highways and Active Travel team, you'll contribute to landmark programmes including the A9 Dalraddy-Slochd, A83 Rest & Be Thankful, East Airdrie Link Road, Ravenscraig Access Infrastructure South, and Westerhill Development Link Road. You'll also support major energy infrastructure such as the Skye Overhead Line Realignment.

With a strong pipeline of impactful work, we offer exciting opportunities to grow your career and help deliver projects that make a real difference.

Your role

  • Be part of the team responsible for the technical delivery of highway infrastructure projects.
  • Using highways design, drainage and other software packages to deliver technically robust designs.
  • Mentoring and coaching team members and taking responsibility for their technical development.
  • Assisting Project Managers on technical aspects of designs from project initiation through to completion.
  • Delegating work to team members, programming deliverables and monitoring progress.
  • Support the business in work winning activities including representing the business at networking events and preparing tenders.

About you

  • Excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills.
  • A resourceful, articulate and clear communicator, with the ability to influence others.
  • A hard working and flexible individual, who is a team player, is reliable, proactive and shows initiative.
  • Self-motivated and able to work both independently as well as within a larger multi-discipline team.
  • A high expectation of performance for themselves and other members of the team.
  • Ability to communicate effectively at all levels.
  • A supportive and encouraging approach to mentoring less experienced members of the team.

Enjoy competitive salaries, employee rewards and a brilliant range of benefits you can tailor to suit your own health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle choices.
