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.

- 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.
