Job description

Flexible Location | Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire or Northamptonshire

Up to £33,854 + 27% pension + excellent benefits

If you're a Civil Engineer with a few years of industry experience and you're starting to wonder what comes next, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Perhaps you're in consultancy and want to see more of the projects you're responsible for, spending less time behind a desk and more time out in the field.

Maybe you're working for a contractor and looking for greater flexibility, better work-life balance and the chance to step away from the pressures of constant site programmes.

Or perhaps you're already client-side and want a role that offers genuine variety, autonomy and the opportunity to develop specialist expertise that's difficult to find elsewhere.

Our client, The UK's Largest Land Manager is seeking an Asset Engineer to help manage and improve a unique portfolio of civil engineering infrastructure across the nation's forests.

Why join this organisation?

This is not a traditional asset management role.

You'll take responsibility for a diverse range of infrastructure including bridges, dams, reservoirs, culverts, retaining structures and access networks that support some of England's most treasured landscapes.

It's a role that combines technical engineering, site inspections, project delivery, asset management and stakeholder engagement. You'll spend time out on site assessing assets, identifying improvement opportunities and seeing work delivered first‑hand, while also helping shape longer‑term investment programmes.

Importantly, you don't need extensive experience of bridges or reservoir engineering.

What's far more important is a solid civil engineering foundation, an understanding of construction and project delivery, and the enthusiasm to learn. Our client can provide the support and exposure needed to help you develop specialist knowledge in these areas.

What you'll be doing...

You'll help deliver Forestry England's Asset Management Plan, ensuring critical infrastructure remains safe, compliant and fit for purpose.

Key responsibilities include:

Inspecting and monitoring the condition of bridges, dams, reservoirs and other civil engineering assets
Identifying maintenance requirements and developing improvement programmes
Managing minor civil engineering projects from concept through to completion
Producing drawings, specifications and design details
Managing contractors and consultants during project delivery
Supporting long–term investment planning and asset management strategies
Working collaboratively with colleagues, regulators and external partners
Promoting safe delivery of works and supporting CDM compliance
Helping implement Forestry England's long‑term reservoir management strategy

Who we're looking for?

This role would suit a Civil Engineer from a consultancy, contractor, local authority or client‑side background who enjoys solving problems and taking ownership of projects.

You don't need years of experience managing bridges or reservoirs. We're much more interested in engineers who can demonstrate:

Civil engineering or construction project experience
Understanding of CDM and safe project delivery
Experience working with contractors, consultants or stakeholders
An interest in asset management and infrastructure maintenance
Strong communication and organisational skills
A practical approach to problem‑solving
The motivation to develop specialist knowledge and responsibilities
Experience with AutoCAD, GIS, inspections, NEC contracts or asset management would be beneficial, but not essential.

What you'll get in return

Alongside the opportunity to work on projects that genuinely matter, this organisation offers benefits that are increasingly difficult to find elsewhere in the engineering sector.
