Our client is a strategic land and master developer business working on residential and mixed-use schemes ranging from 200 to 2,000 units. Due to continued growth in workload, they're looking to add a Civil Engineer / Assistant Technical Manager to their Midlands team.
This is a genuine opportunity for someone 1-5 years post-grad, currently at a housebuilder or civil engineering consultancy, who wants to move into a master developer environment and take on broader responsibility earlier than a traditional consultancy career path would allow.
The Role
- Support the Senior Technical Manager across the technical delivery of live and upcoming residential and mixed-use projects
- Review and coordinate technical information from external consultants (engineers, planners, ecologists, etc.) to ensure design compliance and quality
- Assist with infrastructure design coordination, including highways, drainage, utilities, and earthworks
- Input into technical due diligence for land acquisitions and site appraisals
- Review civil engineering drawings, specifications, and reports produced by external consultants
- Attend site visits and project meetings as required to monitor progress and resolve technical issues
- Liaise with local authorities, statutory undertakers, and other stakeholders on technical matters
- Support the preparation of technical submissions for planning applications and discharge of conditions
- Help manage programme and budget considerations from a technical perspective on live schemes
- Contribute to the technical strategy on new sites coming through the pipeline
