Key Notes
For public- and private-sector clients, you’ll design highway, drainage and active-travel infrastructure for public- and private-sector clients from feasibility through detailed design and statutory approval. The role covers technical outputs, coordination across disciplines and support during construction, with opportunities to direct graduates and technicians. Civil-engineering design experience and knowledge of DMRB, MCHW, MfS and local standards are sought. This is a permanent hybrid Birmingham or London role.
What You'll Work On
- Prepare preliminary and detailed road, drainage and active-travel designs using DMRB, MCHW, MfS, TSM and relevant local-authority standards.
- Progress statutory approvals and provide design support during construction, coordinating the engineering inputs required from other disciplines on the scheme.
- Guide graduates and technicians on assigned highway design tasks and coordinate their technical outputs with the wider project team.
Why This Role Matters
- Highway and active-travel designs require statutory approval and compliance with relevant standards, with the engineer’s technical packages supplying the evidence submitted for review.
- Construction teams need coordinated road and drainage information, with design support addressing questions that arise when approved proposals are translated into work on site.
What They Are Looking For
- Experience: Highway, drainage or development-infrastructure design within project teams.
- Technical: Ability to prepare preliminary and detailed designs using applicable engineering tools.
- Domain: Working knowledge of DMRB, MCHW, MfS, TSM and local-authority guidance.
- Experience: Applicants need ability to produce clear technical outputs to agreed quality, time and budget.
