Civil / Infrastructure Engineer - Residential Development
Location: Gateshead or Corby
Experience: 1-5 years
Salary: £30,000 - £42,000 (depending on experience) + benefits
Are you a Civil or Infrastructure Engineer with a passion for residential development? Do you want to be part of a close-knit team working on projects that genuinely shape communities across the UK?
We're working with a highly regarded engineering consultancy known for its practical, hands-on approach and collaborative ethos. With offices in both Gateshead and Corby, they're looking to bring in a talented Civil Engineer to support a growing pipeline of residential schemes.
The Opportunity
You'll be joining a friendly and knowledgeable team (based in Gateshead) working closely on a variety of infrastructure and civil engineering packages - from initial feasibility through to technical approvals and delivery. The work is varied, covering everything from site development infrastructure design (roads, drainage, levels) to utilities coordination, flood risk, and Section 104, 106, and 278 agreements.
Whether you're still early in your career or looking to build on a few years of experience, you'll be well supported by Chartered Engineers who are invested in your development.
Why This Role?
·You'll work on residential developments that actually get built - these are live, buildable projects with real impact.
·The team isn't siloed. You'll get broad exposure and work across the project lifecycle, not just stuck behind a desk modelling.
·You'll be part of a down-to-earth, supportive office culture, where everyone's input matters.
·Flexible working and real career progression opportunities are on offer as the company continues to grow.
What We're Looking For
·Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or a similar discipline
·1-5 years' experience in civil/infrastructure design (ideally residential)
·Proficiency with AutoCAD and Civil 3D or MicroDrainage (training provided if needed)
·Understanding of UK design standards and approvals process (Sections 38/104/278 etc.)
·Keen to work collaboratively and learn from experienced engineers
·Able to work in-office in either Gateshead or Corby 3+ days per week
