Senior Civil Design Engineer
Norwich
Salary: Up to £55,000
Deliver innovative infrastructure design in a consultancy where your ideas and expertise are truly valued.
We're partnering with a well-established, design-led engineering consultancy based in Norwich, recognised for its technical excellence and collaborative approach. Their portfolio spans major residential, retail, logistics, and technology sector projects across the UK and Europe.
Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Senior Civil Design Engineer to play a key role in the delivery of civil infrastructure projects-from early concept and due diligence through to detailed design and project delivery. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of projects, influence design decisions, and support the development of junior engineers within a forward-thinking team.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead the design and delivery of civil infrastructure schemes including highways, drainage, flood risk, and utilities
- Prepare and review technical reports, drawings, and detailed design packages
- Produce high-quality designs using Civil 3D, MicroDrainage, AutoCAD, and related software
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the UK and Europe
- Take responsibility for project management tasks including programming, budgeting, and client liaison
- Mentor and support junior engineers, contributing to their technical development
- Ensure all work complies with current standards, regulations, and best practices
What We're Looking For:
- Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
- 5+ years' experience within a civil infrastructure design consultancy environment
- Strong technical expertise in highways and drainage design
- Proficiency in Civil 3D, MicroDrainage, AutoCAD, and BIM workflows
- Chartered (CEng) or Incorporated (IEng) status, or actively working towards it
- Excellent communication, report writing, and organisational skills
- Proven ability to manage your own workload and contribute to team success
- Experience in Flood Risk Assessments (FRA), drainage strategies, and due diligence
- Familiarity with Eurocodes and project stages (RIBA/HOAI) is advantageous
- Willingness to travel occasionally across Europe
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- 25 days holiday + public holidays + birthday leave
- Option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days
- Private medical insurance (for you and your family)
- Bupa cash plan
- 7.5% employer pension contribution
- Cycle to work scheme
- Annual professional membership fees paid
- A supportive, people-focused culture with genuine career progression and training
If you're passionate about delivering high-quality civil engineering solutions and want to take the next step in your career, this could be your ideal move.
