Join an award-winning multidisciplinary engineering practice that prides itself on its close collaboration with architects to achieve intelligent, innovative projects.
We are looking for a skilled and motivated Associate Civil Engineer to join our London studio. This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in the delivery of inventive, high-quality civil design, working across a wide range of sectors.
As an Associate Civil Engineer, you will have the experience and confidence to lead technical and commercial delivery of projects, from early concept through to construction. Reporting to a Director, you will be responsible for leading design development and reviewing technical work, coordinating with architects and other consultants, managing, mentoring and developing junior engineers, and supporting the successful delivery of projects to the highest technical, professional, and sustainability standards. You will also contribute to client relationships and business development, helping to identify opportunities and support the continued growth of the practice.
You will bring at least 8 years’ post-graduate experience in a civil engineering design, with a strong understanding of UK codes, procurement processes, and construction methods. You will hold a Level 7 qualification (MEng or equivalent) and have Chartered Engineer status or equivalent.
You will have strong technical experience in the analysis and design of below-ground drainage, SuDS, external works and highways, with proficiency in relevant design software such as Civil 3D and Causeway Flow. You will have a strong understanding of developing viable civil engineering solutions in response to a design brief, balancing technical requirements with critical constraints, flood risk, safety, sustainability and cost. You will also be confident in reviewing and overseeing design work, providing technical guidance to colleagues and ensuring solutions are robust, practical and deliverable.
At Webb Yates, we believe in working collaboratively and creatively. We value individuals who are technically strong, socially aware and eager to contribute to a supportive, design-led studio culture. In return, we offer a flexible, inclusive working environment with opportunities for professional growth and meaningful design impact.
