Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Highways Senior Civil Engineer to join our Civil Infrastructure team in Manchester. We’ve built a great reputation over the years and now we look to focus on establishing and growing our capability in the North West and beyond.

Our Manchester office is situated in the heart of the city centre - just a short walk from Oxford Road Railway Station and Deansgate Metrolink. Here, we have a friendly, close-knit team that work on a diverse range of projects from local community infrastructure schemes to large national infrastructure projects. We are involved in various major development projects across the North West and the UK including Active Travel, Bus Infrastructure and Public ream Schemes in addition to major projects with National Highways.

This role will give you the opportunity to support the development of a team of Civil Engineers and you will oversee all aspects of our projects from inception to completion. You will advise on the delivery of a wide range of regional and national projects in the development and infrastructure sectors, from highways improvements to regeneration projects.

Important to your success, will be your contribution with the North West leadership team to identify the future direction for the group. You will work closely with other senior members of our team and the wider business, to deliver key and important projects for our clients. You will also mentor, guide and inspire more junior colleagues across our Civil Engineering team. Your role will be varied and challenging, and there will be opportunities for you to develop and progress your own career.

About you (Senior Engineer)

You will be degree qualified in civil engineering or similar, and professionally qualified to either CEng or Ieng (or working towards this). You will be focused on achieving coordinated solutions, a tactical thinker and effective at communicating with both internal and external parties (for example utility companies, drainage authorities, highway authorities).

Ideally, you will have expertise in infrastructure design to deliver multi-disciplinary projects for the entire lifecycle – from concept and planning through to detailed design and delivery; highway design and on-site supervision experience is preferable. You will have a proven record of delivering projects closely with clients across technical disciplines and experience of mentoring and managing the workload of junior team members. Skills with Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Keysigns/lines/post, DMRB/MfS/LTN1/20 design, infodrainage, MicroDrainage and utility coordination are advantageous.

Your passion for civil engineering and experience of delivering quality solutions to clients is most crucial to your success in this role.
