• Attend project and design meetings, providing technical advice where required.
• Ensure designs comply with current regulations, industry standards and client requirements.
• Support the delivery of multiple projects, ensuring quality, programme and commercial objectives are achieved.
• Contribute to the continued growth and success of the consultancy through excellent client service and technical delivery.

The ideal candidate will have/be:

• Degree qualified in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience working within a UK engineering consultancy.
• Good knowledge of highways, drainage and infrastructure design.
• Experience using Civil 3D, AutoCAD and relevant design software.
• A strong understanding of UK design standards and current legislation.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• A proactive approach with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Working towards Incorporated or Chartered status (desirable but not essential).

What’s on offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Genuine career progression within a growing consultancy.
• Exposure to a diverse range of civil, structural and building design projects.
• Support towards professional development and Chartership.
• A friendly, supportive working environment where your contribution is recognised.
