Civil Project Engineer
The Business
Join a well-established engineering consultancy delivering complex civil and structural projects across a diverse built environment portfolio. The organisation supports a wide range of schemes, from asset refurbishment and infrastructure upgrades to large-scale, future-focused developments.
Working within a small, collaborative civil/structural team, you’ll be part of an environment that blends technical excellence with practical delivery. Leadership brings a mix of consulting and contracting experience, offering strong support and exposure across different project types.
The Opportunity
This Civil Project Engineer role offers the chance to work across a varied project portfolio, combining technical design with hands-on project delivery. You’ll take ownership of schemes from concept through to completion, gaining valuable exposure across the full lifecycle.
Projects range from smaller upgrade works (£200k–£500k) to multi-million-pound developments, alongside early-stage strategic programmes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Delivering civil and structural engineering projects end-to-end
- Producing design work, calculations and asset assessments
- Coordinating stakeholders including clients, contractors and internal teams
- Supporting procurement and overseeing site activity
- Leading meetings and presenting technical information clearly
What we’re looking for
- Degree-qualified Civil Engineer
- Strong technical grounding in design, calculations and structural assessment
- Background within infrastructure, industrial or consultancy environments
- Confident communicator with the ability to simplify complex information to non-technical experts
- Proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach
- Comfortable balancing technical work with project delivery responsibilities
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to accelerate your development within a consultancy environment that offers genuine variety and responsibility. You’ll gain exposure to a broad mix of engineering challenges, build both technical and project management capability, and contribute to projects with real long-term impact.
With a close-knit team and diverse workload, your contribution will be visible, valued and instrumental in shaping successful project outcomes
