The Opportunity

• Lead drainage, SuDS and highways design
• Deliver projects from planning through detailed design
• Prepare and review Flood Risk Assessments and Drainage Strategies
• Manage project delivery and client relationships
• Coordinate with developers and multidisciplinary design teams
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers
• Help shape the continued development of the Civils team

Candidate Requirements

• Strong UK development infrastructure consultancy experience
• Technical capability across drainage, SuDS and highways
• Experience managing projects and dealing directly with clients
• Comfortable taking responsibility within a small team
• Chartered or working towards Chartership would be advantageous
