Senior / Principal Civil Engineer – Leeds
A growing multidisciplinary consultancy in Leeds is looking to appoint a Senior or Principal Civil Engineer to play a key role in the next stage of its growth, following the award of a major new project and a continued increase in workload across the business.
Established in 2013, the business has built a strong reputation delivering complex infrastructure and engineering projects across the UK. While the company has a long‑standing background within rail depot and train facility infrastructure, today it operates as a genuinely multidisciplinary consultancy offering Architecture, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering and M&E design services across a broad mix of sectors and technically challenging projects.
Its approach is heavily shaped by real construction experience, with a strong focus on delivering practical, buildable and commercially aware solutions rather than purely theoretical design work. The team works closely with developers, contractors and stakeholders from early feasibility and pre‑construction stages through to detailed design and construction support, giving engineers genuine involvement across the full project lifecycle.
With a large pipeline of secured work and a recent hire unexpectedly falling through at the final stage, there is now an immediate requirement for an experienced Civil Engineer who can come in and take ownership of drainage and infrastructure delivery across multiple live schemes. This is a particularly good opportunity for somebody who enjoys variety in their role.
The position will blend hands‑on infrastructure design with broader project leadership responsibilities across multidisciplinary teams. You will be involved in drainage, highways, levels and external works design while also coordinating input from Architectural, Structural and M&E teams to help deliver complex schemes from concept through to completion. The business currently does not have strong drainage capability in‑house, so the successful candidate will become the go‑to technical lead internally and will have an opportunity to mentor and support a Graduate Civil Engineer within the team.
Responsibilities
- Liaise with clients and multidisciplinary design teams.
- Lead the design and review of highways, drainage, levels and external works packages.
- Produce and oversee technical drawings, reports and specifications.
- Support feasibility and bid work.
- Attend client and design meetings.
- Help manage projects through to key milestones and delivery stages.
- Mentor junior staff and support the development of internal standards.
- Help strengthen the company’s in‑house civil engineering capability as the team continues to grow.
Qualifications
- Strong experience across drainage and infrastructure design using Civil 3D and InfoDrainage.
- Solid understanding of highways, levels, utilities and external works design.
- Experience delivering multidisciplinary projects from feasibility through to detailed design.
- Chartered status preferred; strong Senior Engineers approaching chartership will also be considered.
