Job Description

Associate Director - Civil Engineering. An established and forward-thinking multi-disciplinary engineering Consultancy with a strong presence across Yorkshire is seeking to appoint a Chartered Civil Engineer at Associate or Director level to help lead and further develop its infrastructure offering across its Leeds and York offices. With a long-standing reputation for delivering practical, sustainable and commercially astute solutions, the practice provides integrated services across Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Building Surveying and associated disciplines, supporting clients from feasibility through to construction.

This is a senior leadership opportunity suited to a Chartered Civil Engineer (ICE or equivalent) with extensive consultancy experience and a proven track record of delivering and overseeing complex infrastructure schemes. The successful individual will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the Civil Engineering team, leading projects from concept through to completion and providing technical and commercial oversight across highways, drainage, flood risk and adoptable infrastructure design. Responsibility will extend beyond project delivery to include client relationship management, business development and contributing to the sustained growth of the practice across both regional offices.

The Civil Engineering teams offer expertise spanning traditional infrastructure design such as substructures, access roads and sewer layouts, alongside Flood Risk Assessments, Drainage Strategies, Contaminated Land considerations and feasibility studies for development sites. With increasing demand for innovative solutions on constrained and brownfield land, the Consultancy has built a strong track record of unlocking technically challenging sites to achieve best value. The team is experienced in addressing environmental considerations including land drainage, flood mitigation, tree retention and ecological constraints, and regularly delivers large-scale flood alleviation schemes, coastal and marine infrastructure projects, and complex drainage and highway layouts to adoptable standards.

In this role, the appointed Chartered Civil Engineer will provide authoritative technical leadership on the preparation and review of Flood Risk Assessments, Sustainable Drainage System designs, and detailed road and sewer layouts, ensuring compliance with local authority, statutory and national standards. Close collaboration with Architects, Building Surveyors and fellow Engineers will be integral, particularly in supporting Planning and Building Regulation submissions. Mentoring and developing junior engineers, championing professional standards and supporting chartership progression will form a key part of the position.

The Consultancy offers a collaborative and supportive environment where leadership, initiative and technical excellence are valued in equal measure. A competitive remuneration package will be offered in line with experience, together with flexible working arrangements across Leeds and York and genuine long-term progression opportunities within a stable and respected regional practice.
