Senior Civil Engineer (Infrastructure & Drainage) | Liverpool
Are you an experienced Civil Engineer who loves taking ownership of projects, leading technical delivery, and chatting directly with clients?
We are looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join a large established & still growing engineering team in the heart of Liverpool (just a short walk from Lime Street Station).
This is a hands-on senior role within a thriving civil engineering consultancy. If your background is in broad site infrastructure, highways, or earthworks, but you have a solid handle on drainage design, this is the perfect spot for you. You’ll get to work on a highly varied portfolio, stretching from major residential developments to massive industrial and commercial schemes.
The Role
- Own Your Projects: Lead the infrastructure and drainage design delivery from early concept stages right through to detailed design.
- Be the Technical Expert: Produce and review designs, solve complex technical issues, and ensure everything meets project requirements.
- Client Facing: Act as a key point of contact, attend meetings, and confidently talk through design proposals.
- Collaborate & Mentor: Work closely with the wider civil team and help guide junior engineers coming through the ranks.
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.
