ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER
Leeds

New year, new job. Are you a Civil Engineer ready to step into an Associate-level role based in Leeds, with exposure to projects that extend beyond the local region? This is an excellent opportunity for an Associate Civil Engineer who wants leadership responsibility, client influence and varied project work across Yorkshire and further afield.

You will be joining a well-established civil engineering consultancy with a strong Leeds office and a diverse project portfolio. While the role is Leeds based, the work spans regional and national infrastructure and development schemes, offering broader technical exposure while remaining anchored to a core office and team.

The role

As an Associate Civil Engineer, you will lead civil and infrastructure projects while helping shape and grow the Leeds-based team.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading highways, drainage, SuDS and civil infrastructure design

  • Managing and mentoring engineers within the Leeds office

  • Acting as the main point of contact for clients and project stakeholders

  • Reviewing designs, calculations, drawings and technical reports

  • Supporting fee proposals, business development and project resourcing

  • Ensuring quality, compliance and delivery to programme and budget
About you

This role suits an experienced Associate Civil Engineer or a Senior Civil Engineer ready to step up.

You will ideally have:

  • A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering

  • 7+ years' UK consultancy experience

  • Strong background in roads, drainage or development infrastructure

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and relevant civil design software

  • Experience mentoring engineers and supporting business growth
Eligibility to Apply
