Highway Designer

Reference: xthp8uy6hy19fyylqgnx

We are seeking an experienced Highway Designer to support the development and delivery of highway, road, and transport infrastructure projects. You will contribute to the preparation of concept, preliminary, and detailed designs for highways, junctions, drainage, traffic management, active travel routes, and associated infrastructure. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will help ensure that designs are practical, safe, sustainable, cost-effective, and compliant with relevant standards, guidance, and statutory requirements.

Your responsibilities will include producing and checking engineering drawings, technical reports, schedules, specifications, and design calculations; developing horizontal and vertical alignments; preparing earthworks, pavement, drainage, and junction layouts; and coordinating designs with structures, utilities, environmental, geotechnical, and construction teams. You will assist with site inspections, surveys, design reviews, risk assessments, constructability assessments, and responses to technical queries. The role may also involve supporting planning and statutory submissions, contributing to project programmes and cost estimates, and providing technical input during construction and stakeholder meetings.

Applicants should have relevant experience in highway or civil engineering design, ideally gained on roads, urban transport, infrastructure, or public-realm projects. A relevant qualification in civil engineering, transportation, or a related discipline is desirable, along with working knowledge of applicable highway design standards and health, safety, and environmental requirements. Proficiency in industry-standard design and drafting software, such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MX, OpenRoads, or equivalent, is expected. Experience with drainage design, traffic layouts, BIM workflows, and design assurance would be advantageous. You should be able to manage priorities, communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, work accurately to deadlines, and demonstrate a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous professional development.
