Civil Engineer

Company: RGB Network
Apply for the Civil Engineer
Location: Manchester
Job Description:

I’m currently working with a leading UK infrastructure business on an opportunity for an experienced Team Leader to join their growing water and drainage team in Salford.

The team currently has around 10 people in Salford, with approximately 30 people across the wider Manchester office, and is continuing to grow due to a strong pipeline of work across water, regulated water and drainage, including CSO and AMP8 programmes.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Senior Engineer, Principal Engineer, Technical Lead or existing Team Leader with around 7–10+ years’ experience to take on a genuine leadership position.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Leading and supporting a team of engineers across drainage, water and wider civil infrastructure
  • Providing technical leadership and guidance across project delivery
  • Taking ownership of projects and technical packages from design through to delivery
  • Working across water, regulated water, drainage and AMP programmes
  • Supporting the delivery of CSO / storm overflow and wider regulated water schemes
  • Managing technical delivery, programmes, budgets and client requirements
  • Working closely with clients, contractors and multidisciplinary teams
  • Mentoring and developing junior and mid-level engineers
  • Helping develop the team’s technical capability as the workload continues to increase

What They’re Looking For

Ideally 7–10+ years’ experience within civil engineering, with a strong background in either drainage or water.

Relevant experience could include:

  • Drainage / wastewater
  • Water infrastructure
  • Regulated water
  • AMP programmes
  • CSO / storm overflow schemes
  • Water and wastewater networks

You do not need experience across both drainage and water, the business is open to candidates with a strong background in either discipline.

Location & Working Arrangement

Salford, Manchester

2 days in the office / 3 days working from home

Candidates do not necessarily need to be Manchester-based. Those travelling from surrounding areas such as Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Warrington, Bolton and Wigan can be considered, provided they can comfortably commute to Salford twice a week.

There is also a genuine progression route towards Division Manager and further senior leadership opportunities as the team continues to grow.
