My client is a specialist engineering consultancy that focuses on high voltage and power infrastructure projects. Due to sustained project demand, they are looking to appoint a Senior Civil Engineer into a Civil Design Manager role, with responsibility for leading a small civil design team and supporting its ongoing development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Civil Design Engineer who enjoys remaining technically hands-on while also stepping into a formal leadership and people management role.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the civil and structural design function, working closely with Project Managers, Electrical Engineers, and clients across a range of high voltage (HV) projects.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading civil / structural design delivery on HV projects (substations, foundations, cable routes, drainage, access roads, structures, reinforced concrete, steel structures)
  • Managing, mentoring, and developing a small team of design engineers and engineering technicians
  • Checking and approving civil / structural designs, calculations, and drawings
  • Providing technical guidance and leadership across multiple projects
  • Supporting tendering, project planning, and client engagement
  • Helping shape civil design standards and processes within the business

Experience and Qualifications:

My client is keen to speak with experienced Civil Engineers / Structural Engineers who are comfortable combining technical delivery with team leadership, with:

 

  • A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or equivalent
  • Strong civil design experience within power, utilities, or wider infrastructure
  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers (formal management experience is beneficial but not essential)
  • Chartered status or working towards Chartership (ICE or similar)
  • Good communication skills and a practical, solutions-focused mindset
  • BIM experience (desirable)

High voltage or substation experience would be ideal, but strong transferable infrastructure experience will also be considered.

Why This Role?

  • Key leadership position within a growing, specialist consultancy
  • Genuine influence over team development and technical direction
  • Exposure to complex, technically interesting power projects
  • Flexible working and a collaborative, non-corporate environment

If you’re a Senior Civil Engineer or Structural Engineer looking for a role where you can lead and influence. whilst remaining close to design, I’d be happy to discuss the opportunity in more detail. Apply to Andrew Snelgrove at Deploy. 

* salary based on skills and experience required for the role
