An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Lead Civil Engineer to join a well-established Consulting Structures Team. With multiple design hubs and office locations, the company offers a strong regional presence and opportunities for career progression within major roads, bridges, and transportation projects.

This role provides engineers with the chance to contribute to significant and complex projects that drive innovation and sustainability in infrastructure development.

The Role

As a Lead Civil Engineer, you will play a key role within the Design Team, working closely with key stakeholders. You will be responsible for leading road, bridges, and transportation projects, providing technical guidance, and mentoring junior engineers while ensuring high-quality and cost-effective solutions.

  7. Promote and enforce health and safety best practices within the team.

What You'll Bring:

  1. Strong technical expertise and experience in civil engineering, ideally in a Senior Engineer or similar role.
  2. Ability to produce technically sound engineering solutions independently while supervising junior engineers.
  3. Experience managing health, safety, and welfare in line with industry regulations (e.g., CDM Regulations, Integrated Management Systems).
  4. Proven ability to act as a main engineering contact on projects, including roles such as Contractor's Responsible Engineer (CRE) where applicable.
  5. In-depth understanding of the design and specification process, with the ability to check and review work to a high standard.
  6. Proficiency in relevant engineering software and analytical tools, with the ability to validate and check designs.
  7. Strong knowledge of CDM regulations and risk management, ensuring hazards and risks are effectively communicated and mitigated.
  8. Capable of acting as Principal Designer on suitable projects.
  9. Effective leadership and people management skills, including the ability to oversee a technical team.
  10. Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status (or equivalent professional accreditation) is highly desirable and may be essential for certain contracts.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on a leadership role in a dynamic and forward-thinking team, working on major civil engineering projects that have a lasting impact.
