Overview

We are looking for a highly motivated Engineer or Senior Engineer to join our client’s expanding Infrastructure team in Bristol.

• Provide support and guidance to junior Engineers, reviewing and delegating work where appropriate, and checking drawings and calculations to ensure compliance with design standards and quality assurance procedures.
• Liaise directly with clients and stakeholders, preparing fee proposals, managing the financial aspects of projects, and contributing to business development.
• Prepare drainage strategies, levels strategies and earthwork appraisals, planning documents such as Flood Risk Assessments, drainage notes and utilities statements, due diligence reviews for land acquisitions, detailed design and construction drawings, and securing technical approvals (e.g., S104, S38, S278).

Qualifications and Skills

• Strong technical skills and a sound knowledge of guidance and regulations such as Sewer Sector Guidance, Building Regulations, DMRB and Ciria C753.
• Experience within a consultancy environment, particularly on residential development schemes, would be highly beneficial.
• Proficiency in MicroDrainage/Flow and AutoCAD is essential; experience with Civils 3D or Site 3D would be an advantage.
