Job Description

Chartered Civil Engineer (Infrastructure) | Edinburgh

Vickerstock are delighted to be working with a globally recognised engineering consultancy who are seeking to appoint a Senior or Principal Civil Engineer to join their growing infrastructure design team in Edinburgh. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a leading technical and strategic role within a dynamic, multidisciplinary business that is delivering major civil and infrastructure schemes across the UK and beyond.

Your new role as a Chartered Civil Engineer

You will provide technical leadership and strategic oversight across a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects, leading design packages from concept through detailed design and into delivery. You will work closely with clients, contractors and internal teams to ensure high-quality, sustainable and buildable engineering solutions that meet both regulatory and client expectations.

Key responsibilities will include:

  * Leading the delivery of complex civil and infrastructure design projects across highways, drainage systems, earthworks and associated works.

  * Providing technical leadership and mentoring to senior and junior engineers.

  * Managing multi-disciplinary coordination, ensuring design integration and quality assurance.

  * Overseeing concept design, planning submissions and detailed design deliverables.

  * Liaising with clients and statutory authorities to deliver solutions that balance technical, environmental and commercial considerations.

  * Supporting work-winning activity, proposal development and project strategy.

What you’ll need to succeed

To be considered, you should demonstrate:

  * A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (BEng/MEng or equivalent) with significant post-qualification experience in infrastructure design and delivery.

  * Chartered with a relevant professional body such as ICE OR CIHT.

  * Extensive experience leading complex civil engineering design packages, ideally including highways/roads, drainage design and earthworks.

  * Strong technical expertise with industry design standards, sustainable drainage principles and modern design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroDrainage).

  * Excellent project leadership and stakeholder engagement skills.

  * Ability to mentor and develop engineering teams while maintaining high technical standards.

What’s in it for you?

In return, you’ll join a global engineering consultancy that combines international reach with local project delivery excellence. You’ll be working on impactful projects that support connectivity, sustainability and infrastructure growth across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

The role offers:

  * A competitive senior salary and benefits package (reflective of experience and seniority).

  * Opportunity to shape technical direction and contribute to business growth strategies.

  * Hybrid working flexibility and supportive career progression pathways.

  * Exposure to a broad range of complex infrastructure commissions and supportive leadership culture.

This is a superb opportunity for an experienced infrastructure engineer to take a senior technical and leadership position within a thriving consultancy’s Edinburgh team.
