• Working closely with structural and other engineering disciplines to coordinate designs and develop practical, buildable solutions.
• Supporting the coordination of underground services using 3D design tools.
• Attending site when required, including surveys and construction-stage activities.
• Contributing to technical discussions and helping resolve design issues as projects progress.
• Supporting project managers and senior engineers with programme, scope, fee and tender activities.
• Working to relevant standards, client requirements and quality processes.

What you’ll bring

• A degree in Civil Engineering or an equivalent qualification.
• Working towards Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status with ICE.
• Experience in civil engineering design, ideally covering drainage, earthworks, pavement design and external works.
• Experience using Civil 3D and MicroDrainage/InfoDrainage.
• Knowledge of 3D underground services coordination.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work confidently with engineers, clients and other project stakeholders.
• An interest in developing your technical capability and progressing towards professional qualification.

What you can expect

• A varied project portfolio across multiple sectors.
• The opportunity to work alongside experienced civil, structural and multidisciplinary engineers.
• Support, mentoring and a clear route towards Chartership.
• Opportunities to broaden your technical and project delivery experience.
• Flexible and hybrid working.
• A comprehensive benefits package.
• The role may also provide opportunities to work on projects across Europe. International experience and the ability to speak an additional European language, such as German, French or Dutch/Flemish, would be advantageous.
