The Opportunity

A leading national housebuilder is growing its technical team in Yorkshire and is seeking a Civil Engineer to join its Leeds-based regional office. This is a strong opportunity for an engineer with residential development experience or a civil infrastructure background looking to move into housebuilding, to join a business with an active and expanding regional land pipeline.

You'll work across the full technical lifecycle of residential sites: taking outline designs from planning consent through to fully detailed, construction-ready packages, and supporting live sites through to build-out and adoption. You'll be part of a close-knit regional technical team, working alongside the Engineering Manager, external consultants, and site-based construction teams.

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, reviewing drainage calculations and design packages one day, out on site solving a live technical issue with a Site Manager the next.

Key Responsibilities

• Review, coordinate, and check civil engineering designs produced by external consultants, including roads, sewers, drainage (foul and surface water, including SuDS), earthworks, and foundation design
• Ensure all technical designs meet NHBC Standards, current Building Regulations, and Local Highway/Water Authority requirements
• Support the preparation of technical information for planning submissions and the discharge of planning conditions
• Assist with the preparation and progression of S38, S104, and S278 Section Agreements
• Liaise directly with Local Planning Authorities, Highway Authorities, and statutory undertakers on technical queries
• Provide technical support to site-based teams, helping resolve engineering issues during construction
• Carry out site inspections to monitor compliance with approved designs and identify issues early
• Support the adoption process by managing snagging lists and coordinating remedial works with site teams
• Maintain accurate technical records, drawings, and correspondence for each development.
