Do you want to play a key role in restoring, enhancing and protecting natural environments while helping to deliver resilience to climate change? My client are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Senior Civil Engineer to lead and deliver a diverse portfolio of environmental improvements, river restoration projects, flood risk management schemes, infrastructure and energy projects across the UK for one of our most prestigious clients. You will be joining an award-winning environmental and engineering Consultancy that places innovation, sustainability and resilience at the heart of everything it does. The organisation is independent and staff-owned under a stewardship model that supports long-term decision making and sustained investment in people, skills and technology. With offices across the UK and internationally, it offers a collaborative and inclusive environment where people are genuinely valued and supported through life-long learning and professional development. Based in the Edinburgh office, you will join an established engineering team and work closely with a wide range of multidisciplinary specialists including coastal modellers, reservoir engineers, geotechnical engineers, ecologists and geomorphologists. You will lead and coordinate these teams to deliver flood risk management schemes, nature-based solutions, river restoration and natural flood management projects, renewable energy schemes, and reservoir improvements and repairs. The role offers significant variety and responsibility, combining delivery leadership, governance and hands-on technical input across appraisal, design and construction stages. You will operate in a fast-paced Consultancy environment, working with public, private and third-sector clients, including those within local government and other public bodies. Experience of working with, or for, local authorities and an understanding of their governance, funding mechanisms and decision-making processes would be highly beneficial, particularly in supporting the successful delivery of projects from feasibility through to construction. You will provide technical leadership throughout the design process, developing sustainable and resilient solutions that respond to client needs and regulatory requirements. A key aspect of the role will be championing technical innovation, improving efficiency and quality of delivery, and driving the uptake of the latest digital design tools and workflows. You will be responsible for the end-to-end management of projects, including contractual administration, budgetary control, programme management, and the proactive management of change and risk. The role will involve working under a range of contractual arrangements, with experience in the practical application of the NEC4 suite of contracts being particularly valuable in supporting collaborative delivery, risk management and commercial control. You will coordinate and manage multidisciplinary teams and subcontractors, build strong and positive relationships with clients and stakeholders, and act as a trusted technical and commercial lead. You will also lead Safety in Design in line with CDM regulations and ensure compliance with relevant environmental legislation and best practice. The role requires strong technical experience in civil engineering design, particularly in relation to earthworks, drainage design, retaining walls and headwalls. You will be comfortable undertaking site visits across various locations in the UK, including occasional overnight stays, to support design development and construction activities. You will also play a central role in developing and mentoring junior members of staff, supporting their technical growth and progression through Initial Professional Development. You will hold a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in Civil Engineering or a related discipline and possess a full UK driving licence. You will ideally be chartered, or approaching professional review stage, through a relevant professional body such as the Institution of Civil Engineers. Experience in scour assessments for highways and rail structures, natural flood management and sustainable urban drainage systems would be advantageous, as would practical experience in coding or parametric modelling using tools such as Python and Dynamo. Familiarity with hydraulic modelling and the preparation of Flood Risk Assessments would also be beneficial. For more information, please contact Sam at Calibre Search directly or click apply
