Civil Engineer – UK Infrastructure & Highways

Remote Opportunity | UK Working Hours

Talent Shore is partnering with an established UK engineering consultancy to find an experienced Civil Engineer to join their growing team.

Are you a technically strong Engineer with experience in UK infrastructure, drainage design and highways adoption? Do you enjoy taking ownership of projects, solving technical challenges and delivering high-quality engineering solutions?

We're looking for a switched-on, personable and proactive individual with a solid understanding of UK Building Regulations and the highways adoption process in England.

This is an exciting opportunity to work remotely with a UK-based engineering team, taking responsibility for projects from design through to delivery.

The Role

You'll be responsible for the design, resourcing and delivery of individual projects, ensuring that client requirements are met while maintaining high standards of technical quality.

Working remotely, you'll need to bring existing knowledge of the UK regulatory environment and be confident managing your workload independently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of assigned projects, overseeing design, resourcing and delivery

  • Ensure engineering designs and project deliverables meet client requirements

  • Apply knowledge of UK Building Regulations, particularly Part H (Drainage and Waste Disposal)

  • Work with highways adoption requirements, including Section 278 (S278) and Section 38 (S38) agreements

  • Prepare and coordinate technical designs and project documentation

  • Monitor project performance and identify opportunities for improvement

  • Report on quality management, project developments, changes and innovation

  • Promote a strong customer-focused approach

  • Help maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the Quality Management System (QMS)

  • Identify opportunities to improve processes and introduce efficiencies

Skills & Experience

We're looking for someone with a strong technical foundation and practical experience within the UK civil engineering or infrastructure sector.

Ideally, you'll have:

  • Knowledge of UK Building Regulations, particularly Part H

  • Experience with highways adoption codes and requirements

  • Understanding of Section 278 and Section 38 agreements

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD

  • Experience using Civil 3D

  • Familiarity with Infodrainage, PDS and Flow software

  • Experience managing engineering projects from design through to delivery

  • An understanding of quality management systems and continuous improvement

Knowledge of UK Building Regulations and highways adoption procedures is essential to this opportunity, so candidates with existing UK industry experience will be particularly well suited.

The Person

Technical expertise is important, but personality matters too. We're looking for someone who is:

  • Switched-on, proactive and personable

  • Confident working independently and taking ownership

  • Organised and comfortable managing competing priorities

  • A strong communicator with a collaborative approach

  • Client-focused and committed to delivering quality work

  • Adaptable and comfortable working remotely with a UK-based team

If you're an experienced Civil Engineer with knowledge of the UK infrastructure sector and the technical expertise to make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.
