Senior Road Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Senior Road Engineer to lead the planning, design and delivery of complex highway and transport infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will provide technical expertise across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and preliminary design through to detailed design, construction support and completion. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, clients, contractors and stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on time and to the required technical standards.
Key responsibilities will include managing road engineering packages; preparing and reviewing geometric designs, alignments, junction layouts, pavement solutions, drainage interfaces and associated infrastructure; producing technical reports, specifications, calculations and drawings; and ensuring designs comply with relevant legislation, standards and best practice. You will oversee technical deliverables, coordinate design reviews, identify and manage project risks, and provide guidance to engineers and technicians. The role will also involve contributing to bids and fee proposals, monitoring budgets and programmes, supporting site activities, and responding to technical queries during construction.
You should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, highways engineering or a related discipline, together with substantial experience delivering road and transportation projects. Professional registration or progress towards chartered status is desirable. Strong knowledge of highway design principles, relevant design standards, traffic considerations, pavement engineering and construction methodologies is essential. Experience with design and modelling software, such as Civil 3D, AutoCAD, OpenRoads or similar platforms, would be advantageous. You will need excellent communication, coordination and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and build effective relationships. A proactive approach, sound commercial awareness and a strong commitment to health, safety, quality and sustainable infrastructure delivery are also required.
