The Role
I'm currently recruiting for a Senior Drainage Engineer to join an established civil engineering team based in Liverpool.
This is a hands-on senior engineering position, working across a range of residential developments and large industrial/commercial schemes. You’ll be responsible for delivering drainage design solutions from concept through to detailed design, whilst also providing technical input and acting as a key point of contact for clients.
The role is suited for an experienced drainage engineer who is comfortable working independently, managing their own projects and bringing strong technical knowledge to client meetings.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead drainage designs and delivery of residential and large-scale industrial/commercial developments.
- Produce and review drainage designs, calculations, and technical documentation.
- Use Civil 3D, Flow, and Site3D to develop and deliver drainage solutions.
- Attend client meetings, providing clear technical advice and confidently communicating design proposals.
- Take ownership of projects and work closely with colleagues across the wider civil engineering team.
- Provide technical guidance and support to more junior members of the team where required.
- Liaise with clients and other project stakeholders to ensure designs meet project requirements, standards, and programme.
- Review and resolve technical issues throughout the design process.
