Civil Design Engineer

Imagine being part of a consultancy in Hull that doesn't just respond to briefs, but shapes whole communities. Our client is a rapidly growing, multi-disciplinary engineering practice with deep roots across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and they're now strengthening their Hull office with a Civil & Drainage Engineer who will play a pivotal role in the region's transformation.

You'll be a creative technical mind responsible for designing and delivering civil and drainage solutions that meet rigorous industry standards, environmental constraints and client aspirations. Think external works, hardstanding, earthworks modelling, flood defence and risk assessments, utilities design, watercourse modelling-all underpinned by the latest in SuDS thinking. You'll craft reports that support planning applications, refine infrastructure schemes through the approvals process, and work in close collaboration with architects, contractors and multi-disciplinary teams.

Your day might begin on site, assessing ground conditions or stormwater flows, then shift to the office where you refine drainage plans in Civil 3D or InfoDrainage (and perhaps explore Site3D as an advantage). You will engage with highways, earthworks, retaining wall and foundation design; you may help with Section 104, 38 and 278 works; and you'll apply your knowledge of flood risk, adoption requirements, utilities coordination and sustainable infrastructure to deliver confident, compliant designs.

To succeed in this role you bring at least three years' relevant post-graduate experience, backed by a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (a Master's is a plus), full UK driving licence, and excellent communication skills. You understand codes, regulations and the detailed mechanics of design across sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, education, energy, petrochemical and infrastructure. You're proactive, organized, able to balance your own workload, and happy to support your colleagues when demands peak.

This consultancy is committed to your development: you'll benefit from strong support toward professional membership, further training, career progression pathways, and flexible/hybrid working options. Their benefits include a competitive salary, solid pension contributions (with up to ~8.68% employer share), excellent holiday provisions (including birthday leave and holiday trading), life insurance cover and a culture that values your contribution.

You won't just be designing- you will help define Hull's built environment. You'll be part of a team delivering across sectors, making a lasting impact through infrastructure that matters. You'll mentor younger engineers, take ownership of your projects, and see your designs come to life, meeting both aesthetic ambition and technical rigor.
