Reference: pu9srh1d8epano9ncdwe

We are seeking a Highway Design Engineer to contribute to the delivery of highways and infrastructure projects from concept through to detailed design and construction. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will develop safe, practical and cost-effective highway solutions for a range of schemes, including new roads, junction improvements, corridor upgrades, active travel facilities and associated infrastructure. You will have the opportunity to work on projects of varying scale and complexity while supporting the development of innovative and sustainable transport solutions.

Your responsibilities will include preparing highway alignment, geometric and drainage designs using OpenRoads and other relevant design software; producing drawings, models, specifications, calculations and technical reports; and ensuring designs comply with applicable standards, legislation and client requirements. You will assist with feasibility studies, option assessments, design reviews, technical approvals and construction support. The role will also involve coordinating with engineers from other disciplines, reviewing technical information, identifying design risks and contributing to the preparation of fee proposals, programmes and project documentation. You may also provide guidance to graduate and less experienced engineers.

Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, highway engineering or a related discipline, together with relevant experience in highway design and a sound understanding of current design standards and industry practice. Experience with OpenRoads, civil engineering design packages and 3D modelling is desirable, as is knowledge of drainage, earthworks, pavement design, traffic management and transport infrastructure construction. You should be able to communicate clearly with colleagues, clients, contractors and stakeholders, manage competing priorities and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. A professional qualification or progress towards professional registration would be advantageous. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and commitment to quality, safety and sustainable design are essential.
