Civil Design Engineer – Central London
Location: Central London – near London Bridge
Working: Hybrid
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Role: Permanent
I’m currently working with a forward-thinking civil engineering consultancy based in one of the nicest offices in the City, who are looking to add a Civil Design Engineer to their growing London team.
This is a great opportunity for a civil engineer who wants to work on technically interesting projects, take on increasing responsibility and develop their career within a modern, ambitious consultancy.
The Role
You’ll be involved in the design and delivery of civil engineering schemes across a range of sectors, with particular exposure to:
- Drainage design
- Highways and infrastructure
- SuDS
- External works
- S278 / S38
- Flood risk and surface water management
- Civil engineering design from concept through to detailed design
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
