Senior Civil Design Engineer

Location: Leicester or Glasgow (Hybrid Working)

Salary: Up to £60,000 + Excellent Benefits

Play a key role in designing the infrastructure that will power the UK's future.

Are you an experienced Civil Engineer looking for an opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging design projects within one of the UK's most important and rapidly developing infrastructure sectors?

We are working with a growing engineering consultancy specialising in the design and delivery of major energy infrastructure projects. With an established presence across the UK and Ireland and the backing of a major international engineering group, the business is continuing to expand its Civil and Structural Engineering capability and is looking to recruit an experienced Senior Civil Design Engineer.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a technically focused team, take a leading role in project delivery and contribute to the development of critical infrastructure supporting the UK's electricity transmission and energy networks.

The Role

You will take technical responsibility for a range of civil engineering design activities, working across projects from initial concept and feasibility through to detailed design, construction support and completion.

Working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will develop practical, technically robust and cost-effective design solutions, whilst also providing guidance and support to less experienced engineers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the civil engineering design and delivery of major energy infrastructure and electrical substation projects.
• Developing designs for earthworks, site levels, access roads, drainage systems, foundations and associated infrastructure.
• Preparing and checking engineering calculations, technical specifications and construction-standard drawings.
• Coordinating the design of buildings, foundations, plant support structures and other specialist civil engineering elements.
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant British Standards, Eurocodes and client specifications.
• Coordinating with structural, electrical and other engineering disciplines to deliver integrated project solutions.
• Liaising with clients, contractors and suppliers throughout the design and construction process.
• Undertaking technical reviews, site visits and design meetings.
• Supporting project planning, technical estimating, tender submissions and commercial delivery.
• Providing technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and supporting the continued development of the team.

What We're Looking For

We are keen to hear from experienced Civil Design Engineers who enjoy taking ownership of their work, solving engineering challenges and contributing to the successful delivery of complex projects.

Ideally, you will offer:

• A degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• At least five years' post-graduate experience in civil engineering design.
• Experience delivering civil engineering designs within an engineering consultancy, infrastructure, industrial or energy environment.
• Strong technical knowledge of earthworks, drainage, roads, foundations and associated civil engineering infrastructure.
• Experience producing and reviewing engineering calculations, technical reports and construction drawings.
• Familiarity with relevant British Standards, Eurocodes and industry design requirements.
• Experience using relevant design software such as Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Autodesk Robot, Tekla Tedds, MicroDrainage or InfoDrainage.
• The ability to coordinate design activities and work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Chartered Engineer status or a genuine commitment to working towards professional accreditation through ICE or IStructE.

Experience within the power, electricity transmission, substation or wider energy infrastructure sectors would be particularly advantageous, although applications from suitably experienced civil engineers working in other infrastructure or industrial sectors are also encouraged.

What's In It For You?

This is more than simply another Senior Engineer position. It offers the opportunity to develop your technical expertise within a growing specialist engineering business, working on projects that will play an important part in the UK's energy transition.

The package includes:

• Salary up to £60,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working - typically 3 days in the office and 2 days from home.
• Annual bonus scheme.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• An additional day off for your birthday.
• Enhanced company sick pay and family leave provisions.
• Health cash plan and wider employee wellbeing benefits.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, subject to eligibility.
• Annual learning and development allowance.
• Technical training and support towards professional accreditation.
• Opportunities for longer-term career progression within the business and its wider international group.
