Drainage and Infrastructure Engineer

Job Description

An award-winning, employee-owned Environmental and Engineering Consultancy is looking to appoint a Drainage and Infrastructure Engineer to join its growing Birmingham team. Known across the industry for delivering a 'gold standard' in sustainable design and digital innovation, the business places climate resilience, environmental improvement and long-term infrastructure solutions at the heart of everything it does. With a strong pipeline of secured work and long-standing frameworks in place, this is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking team delivering meaningful projects across the UK.

Based in a well-connected office on the east side of Birmingham, just off the motorway, the location offers easy access for commuters along with on-site parking. You will become part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, working closely with specialists across flood risk, water, environmental and infrastructure disciplines on a diverse portfolio of projects.

In this role, you will support the delivery of civil and drainage engineering projects, contributing to schemes from early appraisal and optioneering through to detailed design and construction support. You will be involved in a wide variety of work including drainage design for major developments, fluvial engineering projects and flood storage schemes, as well as contributing to work delivered under long-term frameworks with organisations such as the Environment Agency. The role also offers the chance to get involved in site-based activities, data collection and supporting bid and tender submissions.

Day to day, you will work alongside Engineers and Project Managers to produce high-quality technical outputs, including drainage strategies, calculations and reports. You will support the use of industry-standard tools such as MicroDrainage or InfoDrainage, while contributing to the development of sustainable drainage solutions and flood defence proposals. As part of a growing team, you will also play a role in supporting and mentoring more junior Engineers, helping to build capability and maintain a strong team culture.

The successful candidate will have a degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline and experience working in a technical delivery role within a Consultancy environment. A good understanding of drainage design principles, SuDS and infrastructure design is essential, alongside the ability to manage workload and deliver to programme within a fast-paced environment. Experience with drainage modelling software such as MicroDrainage or InfoDrainage would be highly beneficial.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a Consultancy that genuinely invests in its people, offering structured development, exposure to high-profile projects and a flexible approach to working. The business is widely recognised for its supportive, people-first culture and commitment to continuous learning, making it an ideal environment for someone looking to progress their career while contributing to impactful, sustainability-led engineering projects.
