Job description

Senior Civil Engineer
Glasgow | Permanent | Competitive salary + benefits | Hybrid working
I'm working with a design-led civil engineering consultancy that's redefining how infrastructure contributes to better places. Their Glasgow team is expanding, and they're now looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to support the delivery of a wide range of projects across regeneration, public realm, drainage and infrastructure.
This is the perfect role for someone who's technically strong-especially in civils and drainage design-and wants to work on diverse, meaningful schemes. If you're tired of churning out repetitive highway drawings and are ready to work on projects that actually make a difference, this is worth a closer look.

The Opportunity
·Take ownership of detailed civil design work across drainage, utilities, earthworks and site infrastructure.
·Collaborate closely with urban designers, landscape architects, transport planners and other disciplines.
·Produce high-quality designs using Civil 3D, AutoCAD and drainage software (MicroDrainage / Causeway Flow).
·Work across a varied portfolio including active travel schemes, town centre redevelopments, green infrastructure and retrofit projects.
·Contribute to technical reports, client presentations and multi-disciplinary design coordination.
·Begin mentoring junior engineers and supporting project leads with delivery-without needing to step fully into people management (yet).

What They're Looking For
·A degree-qualified civil engineer, ideally working toward Chartered status (ICE / CIWEM / CIHT).
·Proven experience in civil infrastructure design with a particular strength in drainage and sustainable design.
·Strong technical software skills-Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and MicroDrainage / Causeway Flow essential.
·A good communicator-comfortable engaging with project teams, consultants and clients.
·A self-starter with a positive, solutions-focused mindset and genuine interest in design quality and sustainability.

Why This Role Stands Out
·Join a growing team that's focused on people-first infrastructure and design with purpose.
·Work on high-quality, community-focused projects that go beyond the usual consultancy workload.
·Hybrid working, flexible culture and supportive progression towards Chartership or further leadership.
·Opportunities to grow your role and responsibilities as the team continues to expand.

Interested?
If you're a civil engineer with a passion for drainage and infrastructure design-and you're ready to take on more responsibility without losing the hands-on technical work-this could be the move you've been waiting for.
