About this role

Highway Engineer | London | £40,000 - £50,000

Are you a Highway Engineer looking to take the next step in your career with a consultancy that genuinely invests in its people?

Currently working with a well-established, employee-owned engineering consultancy that's continuing to expand its London Civil Infrastructure team following a number of major project wins. They're looking to recruit a Highway Engineer with around 3+ years' UK experience who's keen to broaden their technical expertise, work on high-profile projects and progress towards Senior Engineer.

The Opportunity

You'll become part of a collaborative team delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across London and the UK, including:

  • Highway and junction improvement schemes.
  • Active travel and public realm projects.
  • Development infrastructure.
  • Section 278 & Section 38 highway design.
  • Drainage coordination and infrastructure design.
  • Projects from feasibility through to detailed design and construction support.
  • Close collaboration with local authorities, developers and multidisciplinary design teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on technically whilst gaining exposure to larger, more complex projects alongside experienced Senior and Principal Engineers.

About You

You'll ideally have

  • Around 3+ years' UK experience in highways or civil infrastructure design.
  • Experience producing highway designs using AutoCAD, with Civil 3D experience advantageous.
  • Knowledge of Section 278, Section 38, DMRB, Manual for Streets and UK highway design standards.
  • Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
  • A desire to work towards ICE Chartership if not already progressing.

What's on Offer?

  • £40,000 - £50,000 depending on experience.
  • Hybrid and flexible working.
  • Annual bonus.
  • Enhanced pension.
  • Private healthcare.
  • Professional subscriptions paid.
  • Full ICE Chartership support.
  • Structured career progression with a clear pathway to Senior Engineer.
  • A genuinely supportive, collaborative culture where you'll be trusted, developed and given real responsibility.

If you're open to hearing more, I'd be happy to arrange a confidential conversation to discuss the role, projects and long-term progression in more detail.
