Summary

Are you a Highway Engineer looking to take the next step in your career with a consultancy that genuinely invests in its people?

Currently working with a well-established, employee-owned engineering consultancy that's continuing to expand its London Civil Infrastructure team following a number of major project wins. They're looking to recruit a Highway Engineer with around 3+ years' UK experience who's keen to broaden their technical expertise, work on high-profile projects and progress towards Senior Engineer.

The Opportunity

You'll become part of a collaborative team delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across London and the UK, including:

- Highway and junction improvement schemes.

- Active travel and public realm projects.

- Development infrastructure.

- Section 278 & Section 38 highway design.

- Drainage coordination and infrastructure design.

- Projects from feasibility through to detailed design and construction support.

- Close collaboration with local authorities, developers and multidisciplinary design teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on technically whilst gaining exposure to larger, more complex projects alongside experienced Senior and Principal Engineers.

About You

You'll ideally have:

- Around 3+ years' UK experience in highways or civil infrastructure design.

- Experience producing highway designs using AutoCAD, with Civil 3D experience advantageous.

- Knowledge of Section 278, Section 38, DMRB, Manual for Streets and UK highway design standards.

- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

- A desire to work towards ICE Chartership if not already progressing.

What's on Offer?

- £40,000 - £50,000 depending on experience.

- Hybrid and flexible working.

- Annual bonus.

- Enhanced pension.

- Private healthcare.

- Professional subscriptions paid.

- Full ICE Chartership support.

- Structured career progression with a clear pathway to Senior Engineer.

- A genuinely supportive, collaborative culture where you'll be trusted, developed and given real responsibility.

If you're open to hearing more, I'd be happy to arrange a confidential conversation to discuss the role, projects and long-term progression in more detail.
