Senior Engineer
We are seeking a motivated Senior Design Engineer to join our transportation team and contribute to the successful delivery of roads and active travel infrastructure projects across a range of scales and complexity.
This role is suited to an engineer with 7+ years’ experience in civil engineering design who is confident delivering projects through multiple phases and is ready to take ownership of technical workstreams with a high degree of autonomy. The successful candidate will play a key role in leading design activities on active travel projects, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and supporting the delivery of high-quality, sustainable transport solutions.
You will work closely with Project Managers and Project Directors while developing your own leadership capability, supporting junior staff, and contributing to collaborative project environments. We support flexible career development, whether you wish to progress as a technical specialist, move toward project management, or develop a blend of both pathways.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on meaningful transportation projects within a supportive and collaborative consultancy that values professional growth, initiative, and continuous learning.
