Job Description

Senior Civil Engineer - Hemel Hempstead

I'm currently working with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy that's continuing to strengthen its civil engineering capability in the South East.

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for a Senior Civil Engineer who wants to take ownership of projects, influence delivery, and play a key role in the growth of a high-performing team.

The business operates across residential, commercial and mixed-use developments, offering exposure to the full project lifecycle - from early feasibility through to detailed design and technical approvals. You'll be working in a collaborative environment alongside planners, environmental specialists and other design professionals.

The Role:

You'll take the lead on drainage and infrastructure design, managing projects from concept through to approval. This includes producing Flood Risk Assessments, drainage strategies and detailed design packages, while also supporting and mentoring junior engineers.

You'll also be client-facing, liaising with local authorities, water companies and wider project teams, so strong communication skills are key. 
Key Responsibilities:

Lead the design and delivery of drainage and infrastructure schemes
Prepare Flood Risk Assessments and drainage strategies
Deliver S104/S38/S278 approvals
Coordinate with clients, authorities and internal teams
Mentor and support junior engineers
Contribute to programme management and technical quality
About You:

Degree qualified in Civil Engineering (or similar)
Strong UK consultancy experience, particularly in drainage and infrastructure
Confident using AutoCAD and drainage software (e.g. InfoDrainage/MicroDrainage)
Experience managing projects and client relationships
Working towards Chartership or already achieved
What's on Offer:

Flexible working arrangements with a strong emphasis on work-life balance
Clear progression pathway with support towards Chartership
Ongoing professional development and training
Exposure to a diverse and interesting project portfolio
Supportive, collaborative team environment
Competitive benefits package including pension and holiday allowance
What stands out here is the level of responsibility you'll be given, alongside clear progression opportunities as the team continues to grow. It's a role suited to someone who wants to step up, take ownership, and have a real impact on project delivery.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to get in touch for a confidential conversation.
