Salary: £45k - £55k
Type: Permanent, Full Time

I'm working with a growing, employee-owned civil and environmental engineering consultancy that is looking to strengthen its Highways and Transportation team in Richmond with an experienced Senior Highways Engineer.
The consultancy has established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality engineering solutions across the highways, transportation and public realm sectors, working with a range of local authority and private-sector clients.


With a strong pipeline of projects and continued growth in the team, this is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Engineer who wants to take greater ownership of projects, develop client relationships and play an active role in the continued growth of the business.


You'll work across a varied portfolio of highways, public realm, active travel and road safety projects, with involvement from early feasibility and concept development through to detailed design and construction.

As a Senior Highways Engineer, you'll take responsibility for the technical delivery of projects while working closely with clients, stakeholders and other members of the design team.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering highways, public realm, active travel and road safety schemes from feasibility through to detailed design and construction.
• Taking technical responsibility for projects and design packages.
• Producing and reviewing high-quality highways design deliverables.
• Working directly with clients and stakeholders to develop practical engineering solutions.
• Supporting project and commercial management, including programmes, resources and deliverables.
• Providing technical input into larger and more complex projects.
• Supporting bids, fee proposals and business development activity.
• Mentoring and supporting graduate and junior engineers.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business.
• Ensuring designs consider health and safety, sustainability and buildability throughout the project lifecycle.

We're looking for an experienced highways professional who is technically capable, commercially aware and confident working with clients.
You'll ideally have:

• Strong experience in highways and/or public realm design.
• Experience delivering projects through feasibility, detailed design and construction.
• Good knowledge of UK highways design standards and processes.
• Experience with Civil 3D, AutoCAD and Microsoft Office.
• Experience working with local authorities, developers or other public/private-sector clients.
• The ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers.
• A relevant degree or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
• Chartered or working towards Chartered status would be advantageous.

This is a great opportunity to join a business where senior engineers are given the opportunity to take ownership and make a genuine impact.
The company offers:

• Employee ownership, with employees able to share in the success of the business through a profit-share scheme.
• A strong and varied pipeline of highways and transportation projects.
• Opportunities to develop into technical, project and team leadership positions.
• Support towards Chartered status and professional qualifications.
• Professional institution membership funded by the business.
• Flexible and hybrid working.
• A monthly wellbeing allowance.
• A collaborative and supportive working environment.
• A strong focus on sustainability and community wellbeing.
• The opportunity to work for a B Corp-certified consultancy with a clear commitment to responsible engineering.

If you're an experienced Highways Engineer looking for a role where you can take greater responsibility, work on interesting projects and have a genuine opportunity to influence the development of a growing consultancy, I'd be keen to hear from you.
