SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER
Derby
Salary: GBP40,000 to GBP52,000 plus benefits
Civil Engineer with 4 to 7 years experience? This is an opportunity to step into a senior-level role where you will take technical ownership of projects, mentor junior engineers and play a key part in delivering high-quality development infrastructure across the UK.
You will be based in the Derby office, working within a well-established civil and structural engineering team while contributing to projects nationwide. The workload is deliberately varied, ranging from bespoke residential schemes and commercial developments through to large industrial sites and major residential projects of several hundred units.
