Our client is seeking an experienced Associate Civil Engineer with a strong background in building drainage and development infrastructure to lead the delivery of drainage design across a wide range of complex development projects.

Working closely with architects, developers, and multidisciplinary teams, you'll provide expert advice on drainage, flood risk, and site constraints, ensuring high-quality, compliant designs throughout every stage of a project.
