Senior Civil Engineer

Senior Civil Engineer
Cheltenham

If you're ready to take the lead on high-profile developments while working as part of one of the UK's most respected multidisciplinary consultancies, this could be the career move you've been waiting for.

Joining a well-established Civil Engineering team, you'll play a key role in delivering infrastructure designs for projects ranging from commercial, education and healthcare developments through to major mixed-use schemes valued in excess of £100m. Working alongside architects, structural engineers, project managers and other specialist disciplines, you'll have the opportunity to influence projects from the earliest planning stages through to construction.

This is a varied position where no two projects are the same. You'll produce Flood Risk Assessments, drainage strategies and pre-planning advice, developing practical infrastructure solutions that help unlock complex sites. You'll lead the design of highways, drainage and external works, prepare calculations, drawings and technical specifications, and ensure schemes meet both client expectations and statutory approval requirements.

You'll also become a trusted point of contact for clients, attending meetings, carrying out site visits and providing technical advice throughout the design and construction process. As a senior member of the team, you'll support and mentor junior engineers while working closely with colleagues across multiple disciplines to deliver coordinated engineering solutions.

This opportunity would suit someone looking to broaden their project exposure while continuing to develop their technical and leadership skills within a consultancy renowned for delivering quality engineering across the built environment.

You'll have experience working within a UK civil engineering consultancy, ideally within a multidisciplinary environment, and be confident delivering infrastructure design from concept through to construction.

You'll have strong technical knowledge across highways and drainage design, including Flood Risk Assessments, drainage strategies, SuDS and earthworks, together with a solid understanding of Section 38, 278, 104, 106 and 185 agreements.

Experience using AutoCAD and Civil 3D is essential, along with a good understanding of UK design standards, Building Regulations, British Standards and local authority approval processes. You'll ideally be working towards, or already hold, professional membership with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

Above all, you'll be a proactive engineer who enjoys taking ownership of projects, building lasting client relationships and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.

You'll be joining a consultancy with an outstanding reputation for technical excellence, collaboration and long-term career development. Working on landmark projects across the UK and internationally, you'll benefit from hybrid working, structured professional development, exposure to complex multidisciplinary schemes and genuine opportunities to progress your career within a business that continues to invest heavily in its people.
