Senior Civil Engineer - Highways, Drainage & Development Infrastructure
Location: Birmingham (Hybrid Working Available)
Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Sector: Development Infrastructure - Highways, Drainage, Earthworks
Are you ready to step up into a more senior design role and work on some of the UK's most complex and high-profile development projects?
An established and people-focused development consultancy is looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join their growing Birmingham office. This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer with experience in infrastructure design (highways, drainage, earthworks) who wants to work in a collaborative, forward-thinking team delivering residential, commercial, and public sector schemes.
The Company
With a strong reputation for quality, collaboration, and innovation, this consultancy partners with clients and communities to shape smarter, sustainable developments. They're known for delivering complex infrastructure and regeneration projects across residential masterplans, commercial hubs, utility installations, schools, public spaces, and more.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
