Ready for the move from Senior Civil Engineer to genuine leadership? This Nottingham opportunity offers something different: the chance to become a key figure within a small established Civils team, with a realistic route to taking wider responsibility for the discipline.
The Opportunity
An established multidisciplinary consultancy is looking for a Senior Civil Engineer who wants more than another project delivery role.
You will take responsibility for development infrastructure projects across drainage, SuDS, and highways, working directly with clients while remaining hands-on technically. Just as importantly, there is genuine scope for the successful Senior Civil Engineer to take increasing responsibility for the Civils function as the role develops.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Lead drainage, SuDS, and highways design
- Deliver projects from planning through detailed design
- Prepare and review Flood Risk Assessments and Drainage Strategies
- Manage project delivery and client relationships

- Help shape the continued development of the Civils team
Candidate Requirements
- Strong UK development infrastructure consultancy experience
- Technical capability across drainage, SuDS, and highways
- Experience managing projects and dealing directly with clients
- Comfortable taking responsibility within a small team
- Chartered or working towards Chartership would be advantageous
Why Apply?
This is the opportunity to move beyond a conventional Senior Civil Engineer position and establish yourself as a future leader of the Civils business. The salary is GBP55,000 - GBP65,000, with scope for your responsibility and position to develop considerably as you prove yourself.
