Havant (Site-Based)
£55,000 - £65,000 + Package
An opportunity has arisen for a Civil Engineer to join a major infrastructure scheme delivering a 3.5km pipeline as part of the Havant Thicket project for Portsmouth Water.
This is a stand out role for someone with 3-5 years' experience who wants to be involved in a live construction environment, contributing directly to both permanent and temporary works design on a technically challenging scheme.
You'll be joining a well-established, multi-disciplinary team at a critical stage, with detailed design still evolving across key elements such as caisson shafts and pipe-jacked tunnels. It's a chance to have real input, not just follow drawings.
Why this role stands out
·Be part of a high-profile water infrastructure project with long-term security
·Work closely with delivery teams - not stuck behind a desk
·Exposure to both design and site-based engineering challenges
·Opportunity to move onto further schemes across the Southern Water region
·Join at a key stage where your input genuinely shapes delivery
The role
This position is heavily design-focused but with a strong site interface. Expect to be:
·Developing design briefs and managing incoming technical queries
·Producing calculations, risk assessments, sketches and design outputs
·Working on concrete structures, shafts, and pipeline-related designs
·Supporting temporary works design to enable construction
·Visiting site regularly to liaise with engineers and review progress
·Ensuring designs are practical, efficient, and correctly implemented
What's needed
·Around 3-5 years' experience within civil engineering design
·Strong understanding of structural design (Eurocodes / British Standards)
·Experience with concrete design and reinforcement detailing
·Ability to interpret ground investigation data
·Proficiency in 2D CAD and FEM software
·Confident communicator - able to engage with both design and site teams
Desirable experience
·Shafts, tunnelling or trenchless works
·Temporary works (excavations, cofferdams, trench support)
·Crane platforms / piling mats
·Lifting design and construction sequencing
·Pipeline hydraulics
·Python or similar programming
Location & working pattern
·Based on site in Havant (PO9)
·1 day per week flexibility available, but this is a site-led role
·Hours typically:
oMon-Thurs: 08:00-18:00
oFri: 08:00-16:00
Package
·£55,000 - £65,000 depending on experience
