Principal Civil Engineer

The Opportunity

I’m working with an award-winning, multi-disciplinary design consultancy that continues to secure some of the UK’s most high-profile development projects.

Due to continued growth, they’re looking to bring in a Principal Civil Engineer to play a key role in delivering a strong pipeline of residential, commercial and education schemes.

This is a senior, client-facing position with real influence over projects, team direction and technical delivery — without being tied to the office full-time.


The Role

  • Lead the design and delivery of infrastructure schemes across residential, commercial and education projects
  • Oversee drainage, highways and external works design
  • Manage projects from feasibility through to detailed design and construction support
  • Act as a key point of contact for clients and stakeholders
  • Mentor and support junior engineers
  • Drive quality, efficiency and technical excellence across projects

What They’re Looking For

  • Strong background in civil engineering design (drainage & infrastructure)
  • Experience working on residential and/or commercial developments
  • Proven ability to manage projects and liaise with clients
  • Knowledge of approvals (S38, S104, S278 etc.)
  • Comfortable leading teams and reviewing technical work
