Job description

Senior Civil Engineer

Location: near Bournemouth, Dorset

Hours: 37.5 per week

Salary: £38,000 – £48,000 DoE

About the Company

We are recruiting on behalf of a well‑established, independent UK consultancy specialising in transport planning, infrastructure design and environmental assessment.

Their Dorset office offers something many engineers look for but rarely find. A genuinely supportive, tight‑knit team environment, backed by the security and project flow of a successful national business. You won’t be a number here. You will be trusted, supported and given space to grow.

About the Role

This is a development‑focused infrastructure role with real variety. You will be delivering highway and drainage design for residential and mixed‑use schemes of all sizes. From initial concept through to approval, you will play a hands‑on role in shaping projects and keeping them moving.

You’ll enjoy a balance of independence and collaboration: managing your own workload, contributing ideas and supporting junior engineers, while working closely with project managers and clients.

Key areas of work include:

• Highway and drainage design for S38, S278 and S104 applications
• Technical assessments and report writing
• Flood risk and drainage strategy input
• Reviewing drawings and outputs from junior team members
• Coordinating with clients and internal teams to meet deadlines

If you enjoy practical design, problem solving and seeing developments progress from paper to site, this role will suit you.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible hybrid working
• Support towards Incorporated or Chartered status via an ICE approved training scheme and mentorship
• Company car (subject to position)
• A varied workload across sectors and project sizes
• 25 days annual leave, increasing with service
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Company pension scheme
• Life assurance and Group Income Protection
• Professional subscription fees paid
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Free on‑site parking
• Team sports and social activities
• Supported CPD and annual appraisals
• Paid time off for volunteer work

This is a business that invests in its engineers and supports long‑term progression.

What you’ll need to succeed…

• A degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent
• Minimum of 5 years’ post‑grad UK experience in a similar environment
• Strong working knowledge of S38, S278 and S104 processes
• Experience using AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Causeway FLOW (or similar)
• Full UK driving licence
