About the Role

We're currently supporting a well-established engineering consultancy that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Civil Technician to join their growing civil infrastructure team. This is a senior technical role with real responsibility, offering the chance to lead civil design delivery across a range of complex projects while mentoring junior staff and working closely with engineers and project managers.

  • Develop 3D models, grading designs, and earthworks calculations
  • Coordinate closely with engineers to deliver plans, profiles, and sections
  • Carry out design QA/QC and ensure compliance with standards and regulations

  • Review volume calculations for excavation and site grading
  • Mentor and support junior technicians
  • Contribute to project delivery within agreed scope, budget, and programme

About You

  • 7+ years' experience in civil engineering design
  • Advanced Civil 3D experience (Navisworks, MS Office essential; Revit, MicroStation or GIS beneficial)

  • Confident working in a multi-disciplinary project environment
