Job Description

We’re partnering with a leading global engineering consultancy to appoint an Associate or Associate Director level to support the continued growth of their Development team across the UK.

This is a senior opportunity for an experienced utilities specialist who enjoys leading technically complex projects, advising clients on utility risk and strategy, and shaping some of the UK’s most high‑profile development schemes.

Role

You’ll take a lead role in delivering multi‑utility infrastructure solutions across the full development lifecycle, from feasibility and planning through to detailed design and delivery. Acting as a senior technical advisor, you’ll support clients in managing utilities risk, capacity constraints, diversions and commercial opportunities, while leading multidisciplinary project teams in the UK and internationally.

This position sits at the centre of development‑led infrastructure work, covering residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, defence and education projects.

Responsibilities

You’ll lead utilities infrastructure projects ranging from local developments to nationally significant schemes, providing senior technical input on electricity, gas, water and telecoms networks. The role includes managing utility strategies, demand calculations, diversions and connections, coordinating multi‑utility layouts, overseeing commercial performance, and acting as a key point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders. You’ll mentor junior engineers, contribute to business development, and ensure projects are delivered to programme, budget and quality expectations.

About you

You’ll be degree‑qualified in Civil Engineering or a related discipline and ideally Chartered, or working towards Chartership. You’ll have strong UK development experience across utility infrastructure, diversions and connections, with a solid understanding of iDNOs, ICPs and commercial utility models. You should be confident leading teams, managing multiple projects, engaging clients and directing BIM‑based design outputs. The ability to obtain UK Security Check (SC) clearance is required.

What’s on offer

You’ll benefit from flexible hybrid working from multiple UK offices, long‑term progression at Associate / Associate Director level, exposure to complex and prestigious development projects, and comprehensive support with Chartership and professional development. The consultancy offers a strong wellbeing package, flexible working culture and an inclusive, people‑focused environment
