Job Description

Senior / Principal Civil Engineer - Cardiff

£50,000 - £65,000 + benefits

Leadership opportunity | Established consultancy | Flexible hybrid working

I'm working with a growing, independent civil and structural engineering consultancy with a great reputation across South Wales and the South West. They've built strong, long-term relationships with a broad mix of clients in the residential, commercial, and education sectors - and are now looking to strengthen their Cardiff team with a Senior or Principal Civil Engineer.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to have a real voice in the direction of a team, contribute to project delivery and business development, and help shape the future of a growing office.

Why consider this role?

Influence and autonomy

• You'll have a key role in the Cardiff office's growth, contributing to team leadership, mentoring junior staff, and managing key client relationships.

Quality-first consultancy

• They focus on well-engineered, pragmatic solutions and lasting relationships rather than chasing volume.

Varied workload

• Projects include a strong mix of private and public sector work, with involvement from feasibility through to delivery.

Flexible and supportive culture

• Hybrid working is encouraged, and the leadership team values work-life balance and professional development.
