Based from the London office, you will play a leading role within a strongly led infrastructure team, delivering development-led civil engineering schemes across the UK. While London provides the team base and client interface, projects span residential, commercial, industrial, high-rise and major residential developments of 500+ units nationwide.

* Managing S278, S38 and S104 submissions to approval

* Checking and approving drawings, calculations and reports

* Providing technical leadership and mentoring to engineers

* Coordinating with clients, architects and local authorities

* Supporting Flood Risk Assessments and Drainage Strategies

* Overseeing project delivery to programme and budget

* Undertaking site involvement and construction support

About you

This role suits an experienced, infrastructure-focused Principal Civil Engineer.

You will ideally have:

* A degree in Civil Engineering

* Chartered or near-Chartered status with ICE

* Strong UK consultancy experience in development infrastructure

* Confident leadership and client-facing capability

* A collaborative, commercially aware mindset
