SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER

Birmingham

Salary: £45,000 to £60,000 plus benefits

New year, new job. Are you a Senior Civil Engineer in Birmingham looking to take greater ownership of infrastructure design while working on major development projects across the UK? This is an opportunity to join a respected consultancy with a strong regional presence and a reputation for delivering high-quality civil engineering solutions.

You will be based in the Birmingham office, forming part of a well-established and strongly led civil engineering team. While Birmingham is the team base, the work is deliberately varied and national in reach, covering residential, commercial and mixed-use developments ranging from smaller local schemes through to large, complex infrastructure projects. This role offers genuine technical involvement, client exposure and a clear pathway toward Principal level.

As a Senior Civil Engineer, you will take responsibility for the technical delivery of highways and drainage design packages while supporting junior engineers and contributing to project coordination.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and delivering highways designs including S38 and S278 works
• Preparing drainage strategies and detailed designs for S104 and S98 approvals
• Designing SuDS features, foul pumping stations and balancing facilities
• Coordinating design inputs across multidisciplinary teams
• Ensuring compliance with UK standards and CDM Regulations
• Reviewing drawings, calculations and technical reports
• Supporting project programming, quality control and delivery

This role suits a capable Senior Civil Engineer ready to step up.

You will ideally have:

• A degree in Civil Engineering
• Strong experience in highways and drainage design
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and drainage software
• Progress toward Chartership or clear intent to achieve it
• Confident communication skills and a collaborative approach

Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
