Senior Civil Design Engineer in Salford, United Kingdom

Location: London, Warwick or Manchester
Working Arrangement: Hybrid – 2 days per week in the office
Contract: 6 months initially
Rate: £38–£50 per hour, Inside IR35
Discipline: Civil & Structural Engineering (C&S)
The Opportunity
We are currently recruiting for a Senior Civil Engineer to join our client on an initial 6-month contract, supporting an increased workload during a busy period.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced civil engineer to join a well-established Civil & Structural team and take ownership of design packages across a range of infrastructure and built-environment projects.
The successful candidate will be comfortable working with minimal supervision, taking responsibility for defined areas of work and delivering high-quality civil engineering designs from concept through to completion.
Candidates operating at a strong Engineer level or approaching Senior Engineer level may also be considered, depending on experience.
The Role
Working as part of a multidisciplinary Civil & Structural team, you will be responsible for delivering civil engineering design work across a broad range of areas.
You will need to demonstrate a well-rounded understanding of civil engineering, rather than experience focused solely on drainage design.
Key areas of experience include:
* Drainage design
* Earthworks
* External works
* Pavement design
* Levels and grading
* Utilities
* Ducts and associated infrastructure
* Wider site and infrastructure coordination
* Working effectively within multidisciplinary project teams
You will be expected to take ownership of your allocated design work and deliver it independently, with minimal hand-holding.
Software Experience
Experience with the following is essential:
* MicroDrainage and/or InfoDrainage
* Civil 3D
Sector Experience
Sector background is not the key differentiator for this position. We are particularly interested in engineers who can demonstrate broad civil engineering design experience across projects incorporating multiple civil elements.
Relevant experience could include:
* Power and energy
* Rail
* Highways and infrastructure
* Building and development
* Other complex infrastructure or multidisciplinary projects
Initial projects are expected to be within the Power sector, covering areas such as drainage, hardstanding, utilities and road interfaces associated with substations.
