The business

This is a well-respected, medium-sized practice with the scale to take on significant projects and the agility to give senior people real influence. Civil Engineering design teams work alongside in-house Building Surveyors and a wider consultancy group, so projects are delivered end to end. The business has a strong track record of unlocking challenging sites and achieving best value for clients, particularly brownfield sites and those with difficult topography or access.

The work is varied and includes:

• Substructures, access roads, sewer design and drainage layouts for new residential developments, designed to adoptable standards
• Flood Risk Assessments, Contaminated Land Surveys and feasibility studies for development sites
• Large-scale flood alleviation schemes, wharfs, jetties and marine structures, plus coastal erosion and flood breach analysis
• Environmental considerations such as land drainage, tree retention and the impact of development on wildlife habitats

The role

The successful candidate will lead the civil team's technical output and play a key part in the strategic direction of the business. Responsibilities include:

• Leading and mentoring engineers, and building a high-performing team across the Leeds and Hull offices
• Overseeing the delivery of projects, ensuring quality, programme and commercial success
• Developing and maintaining client relationships, and winning new work
• Working with architects, planners, local authorities and statutory bodies
• Contributing to business planning, proposals and growth

About you

• Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE or equivalent) with a strong background in land development, drainage and infrastructure
• Proven experience leading teams and managing projects and client relationships
• Commercial awareness, with a track record of winning or growing work
• Marine, flood alleviation or coastal experience is desirable but not essential
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership style, with the ambition to shape the direction of a growing business

What's on offer

• A genuine route to Director level, or the chance to step in at Director level, with real influence over the future of the business
• A friendly, supportive culture within an established, growing firm
• Interesting, varied projects, from housing developments to major flood and marine schemes
• Flexibility to work from Leeds or York
