Civil Engineer - Developer
Engineer - Residential Developer (Client Side) – Civil/Infrastructure – Planning and Preconstruction
Location: Norwich Salary: Up to £75,000 + benefits Working pattern: Hybrid
Thinking about moving client-side – or stepping up with a larger developer?
This is an opportunity to join a major residential developer in a client-side Engineering role, where your focus is on technical oversight, coordination and design management — not fee chasing or timesheets.
You’ll join a supportive Technical team of 4-5 Engineers, working across a strong, long-term development pipeline with genuine scope to grow and move internally.
This role has strong involvement at the pre-planning and planning stage, working closely with land, planning and technical teams to shape schemes from the outset. Experience or working knowledge of engineering input at pre-planning and planning stage is therefore important.
Why this role stands out
- Client-side Engineering role within a large residential developer
- Strong, close-knit technical team with experienced support
- Exposure to more complex and higher-value developments
- Clear internal progression and opportunity to move across divisions
- Hybrid working and long-term workload security
