Working across high-profile, multi-disciplinary projects, you’ll bring technical clarity, confidence, and leadership to schemes that make a lasting difference for our communities and the environment.
Purpose & Scope of the Role
As a Consultant Engineer, you will play a key role in the technical development and delivery of civil engineering and flood risk management projects across government agency, water company, local authority, and private sector portfolios.
You will provide high-quality engineering input across all stages of the project lifecycle, from inception and strategic optioneering through to outline and detailed design. You will help shape technically sound, practical, and deliverable solutions, while supporting project teams to maintain momentum, quality, and alignment with client objectives.
The role will involve taking ownership of defined workstreams, contributing to technical governance, guiding multidisciplinary coordination, and helping ensure that risks, assumptions, interfaces, and opportunities are clearly understood and managed. You will also support client engagement, technical approvals, and the development of trusted, collaborative working relationships.
Your Impact in this position
You will help turn complex technical and environmental challenges into well-informed, balanced, and deliverable outcomes. Your expertise will strengthen decision-making, improve design quality, and support the delivery of solutions that are resilient, efficient, and buildable.
