Drainage is the key requirement. You do not need to be proficient in every other area: if you have less experience in highways, levels or earthworks, training and support will be given to build your skills across the wider role.

• Developing your skills against ICE requirements on the route to IEng or CEng

What you will bring

• 2:1 degree in a relevant subject, HND+2 or equivalent
• Typically 2-5+ years' experience in drainage and infrastructure design, with drainage as your core strength
• Familiar with Civil 3D and MicroDrainage or InfoDrainage
• Knowledge of highways design (S38, S278) and development infrastructure is an advantage, with training given
• Working knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022 is helpful
• Strong problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills
