There are Senior Civil Engineer roles where you inherit a job description.
And there are roles where you get the chance to shape what comes next.
We're working confidentially with a busy and growing engineering consultancy looking for a Civil Engineer to become a key part of its civils function.
They're open-minded about exactly who that person is.
You might be an experienced Civil Engineer who's ready to step up, take on more responsibility and start making your mark.
Or you could already be operating at Senior level and want the opportunity to take the lead, develop the function and help build the team around you.
Either way, you need to be someone who still enjoys doing the engineering.
This is a hands-on role.
The workload is growing, projects are moving and they need someone who can get stuck into the design work, manage projects and deal confidently with clients.
The majority of the work is residential and commercial development, covering:
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.
- Drainage design, including SuDS and surface water
- Highway and access design
- Technical drawings, calculations and reports
- Projects from early-stage design through to delivery
There is some highways work, but this isn't a major infrastructure / National Highways role. The sweet spot is someone who understands drainage, access and highways within the development environment.
You'll also be visible to clients, so you need to be comfortable having conversations, building relationships and representing the consultancy rather than disappearing behind the drawings.
What are they looking for?
Strong drainage and highways experience is important, but just as important is your attitude.
They want someone with energy, initiative and the confidence to take responsibility.
Someone who sees a growing workload and thinks opportunity, not problem.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
CEng / MICE would be welcomed, but they're more interested in finding the right engineer than ticking every box.
What's the opportunity?
For the right person, this can become much more than another Senior Civil Engineer position.
There's scope to shape the civils function, influence how it develops and potentially build a team around you as the workload continues to grow.
If you're earlier in your career, it's a genuine step-up opportunity.
If you're already experienced, it's a chance to take the lead.
