Job description

We are seeking experienced civil engineers, at or approaching intermediate level, to support our growing work in the infrastructure sector – primarily in drainage design but with highways, pavements and earthwork strategy experience also desirable.

We are primarily looking for candidates to join our Coleshill or Haywards Heath offices; however, we have infrastructure teams in offices right across the UK and may consider applicants who can work from our other offices depending upon the individual circumstances.

You’ll be joining an established environmental and engineering consultancy that puts sustainability and resilience to climate change at the heart of our company strategy. With offices in nine countries around the world and across the UK and Ireland, we like to think we make a difference. We are independent and employee‑owned, allowing us the freedom to focus on innovation and our commitment to exceptional client service.

Our workforce is central to our success, and we invest heavily in supporting staff development. We are a great place to work. JBA supports hybrid working, which provides greater flexibility with the way we work.

The role

If you join us you will deliver technical work for civil/drainage engineering projects, along with fluvial and highways schemes. The role will involve supporting civil engineering design and delivery of a variety of projects and will include guiding more junior civil engineers. You will also undertake site work and may input to bid and tender preparation.

Current projects include a range of drainage design schemes for major developments in England and Wales, flood storage proposals and fluvial engineering projects for the Environment Agency under the NGSA frameworks, along with drainage strategies for smaller developments and option‑making for SuDS and flood defence projects.

The team member we are looking for

We are looking for people who are passionate about delivering sustainable design solutions for our clients; who work collaboratively and are open to new ways of working and emerging technologies.

The right candidate will be able to effectively manage workload in a busy and dynamic environment and will be willing to take ownership of issues and work autonomously to find solutions. We have a strong culture of developing people and are looking for individuals actively pursuing professional qualification or continuing to expand their knowledge and experience.

An engineering related degree is required, although other similar qualifications could be accepted depending on individual circumstances.

A full UK driving licence is required.

Essential attributes for the role

• Experience in taking a technical delivery role on design projects, working with others and following quality processes to ensure deliverables meet clients’ needs.
• Experience with drainage modelling software such as Microdrainage or Infodrainage.
• Knowledge and experience in detailed design of Sustainable Drainage Systems and adoptable drainage networks.
• Experience in safety in design, Designer’s responsibilities under CDM and sustainable design.

Desirable attributes for the role

• Experience in the Specification for Highway Works.
• Knowledge of CAD and/or earthworks modelling packages such as Civil 3D and AutoCAD.

Location

The role will be based at our Coleshill, B46 1HT office.
