Chartered Civil Engineer

Role: Chartered Civil Engineer (Hybrid working)

Location: Leicester

Salary: £50-£62k (DOE)

Ref: MAR377

I'm working with a design-led civil engineering consultancy that's rethinking how infrastructure gets delivered in the UK. They're not your run-of-the-mill firm - this is a collaborative, values-driven team passionate about making places healthier, greener and more connected. From town centre upgrades to flood-resilient neighbourhoods and active travel infrastructure - their work is meaningful, sustainable, and community-focused. They're now looking for a Chartered Civil Engineer for their Leicester office. This is a great opportunity for someone technically strong who still enjoys being hands-on, but is also ready to step up into a visible project-facing role-supporting junior engineers, leading technical delivery and helping guide the direction of the team alongside senior leaders.

The Opportunity

• Be the technical lead on civil engineering design across a diverse project portfolio-spanning infrastructure, regeneration, drainage, highways and utilities.
• Collaborate with landscape architects, urban designers and environmental specialists on projects that create lasting impact.
• Oversee design quality, support project delivery, and act as a key point of contact for clients and design partners.
• Support and mentor junior team members-playing a part in developing technical skills and encouraging best practice (without full line management).
• Get involved in early design thinking, stakeholder discussions and shaping proposals that improve real-world outcomes.

What They're Looking For

• A Chartered Civil Engineer (ICE / CIWEM / CIHT / IStructE or equivalent).
• Proven technical experience across civil infrastructure design, including roads, SuDS, utilities and earthworks.
• Proficiency with Civil 3D, MicroDrainage / Causeway Flow, AutoCAD and similar design tools.
• Great communication skills - confident working with multidisciplinary teams, clients and external consultants.
• Some experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers (formal management not essential).
• Someone who takes pride in delivering work that's technically sound, environmentally responsible and socially valuable.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a close-knit team where your ideas are heard and your work genuinely makes a difference.
• Get the best of both worlds - strong technical delivery and a purpose-driven environment that prioritises design quality and climate-conscious outcomes.
• Hybrid working, great work-life balance, and a collaborative team that shares knowledge and celebrates good design.
• A clear progression path, with the chance to grow into more formal leadership as the team continues to expand.
