About us

Techolony is a boutique design consultancy that utilises experienced contractor engineers to deliver our projects and work packages. Our engineers work remotely as part of a specialist team, delivering high-quality design on major client building projects across the UK.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join Techolony on a contract basis. You’ll be the civil designer working inside the site boundary on building projects: schools, hospitals and other public sector buildings, as well as commercial and industrial developments.

This is a hands-on design role for an all-rounder. You’ll design and coordinate everything outside the building footprint, and help guide and check the work of other engineers.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing below-ground drainage (private and adoptable), SuDS and attenuation

• Designing and coordinating utilities and incoming site services: connections, routing and diversions

• Designing hardstanding, car parks, service yards and site access roads, including pavement build-ups

• Producing site levels, earthworks and cut and fill designs

• Preparing drawings, calculations and reports, and taking schemes through to approval

• Checking and supporting the work of junior engineers and technicians

• Working closely with architects, structural engineers, building services and contractors

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience as a civil engineer on building projects, ideally public sector (education, healthcare or similar), commercial or industrial

• A genuine all-rounder: experience across drainage, utilities, external works and levels, not just one of these

• Hands-on design experience at senior level, including checking others’ work

• Strong Civil 3D skills, plus InfoDrainage, MicroDrainage or Causeway Flow

• Experience with S104, S106 and S278 approvals would be an advantage

• Chartered (CEng MICE) or working towards it is welcome but not essential

Please note: this role suits engineers from building, development or civil and structural consultancies. It is not suitable for highways or linear infrastructure specialists, or for drainage-only profiles
