Job Description:

Carrington West are pleased to offer this outstanding vacancy with one of the most innovative and progressive consultancies in the civil engineering / infrastructure market.

The role of an Associate Civil Engineer offers the successful candidate a chance to work with a team of experts in civil infrastructure design on some of the most interesting development projects in the UK. You will have an opportunity to lead and mentor junior staff while engaging with clients and building industry partnerships.

What you will need:
Our client would love you to have a HNC or degree in Civil Engineering but it's not essential, as long as you have appropriate industry experience. Whilst it would also be fantastic if you were to be a Chartered Engineer, they will provide all the support required to help you achieve this.

You should have a positive and practical approach to engineering and provide technical leadership that, together with other members of the team, will enable you to mentor and develop the careers of more junior members of staff.

You should be experienced in taking a lead role in small-to-medium-sized infrastructure projects, including SuDS attention/infiltration design using either PDS or Civil 3D software and MicroDrainage - and be able to produce drainage and highway layouts, with an excellent understanding of Section 38/278/104 & 185 approvals.

The role will include undertaking feasibility and pre-planning assessments/appraisals; preparing, managing and reviewing reports, designs and drawings to ensure consistently high-quality outputs; supporting the preparation of fee proposals and managing budgets accordingly; and acting as a key contact for clients.

Above all else, personality is king in this business. They want you to be a confident and self-motivated individual with strong interpersonal and communication skills.

What you'll get in return:
This is not only a great opportunity to work hand-in-hand with the Head of Infrastructure and the rest of the team on exciting and high-quality infrastructure projects, but one where you will have a real opportunity to help influence the shape and character of the team's expansion over the coming years.

A culture that helps you to achieve your full potential with clear, structured mentoring, investment and feedback - it's an approach founded on the principles of 'partnership'.

A competitive salary - not just to attract you to the business but also to recognise your ongoing contribution and capabilities.

They also provide a market-leading pension scheme, a discretionary twice yearly bonus scheme, and various perks and wellbeing initiatives to ensure you are properly looked after during your time with us.
