A water management engineer works on a wide variety of waste and clean water infrastructure and non-infrastructure assets to deliver sustainable solutions. Ensuring resilience and quality of water supplies to our communities through innovative technologically advanced and natural solutions alike.
As a civil engineer in rail, you will help design and deliver the infrastructure that supports the railway network. From station infrastructure, and bridges, to utility crossings, drainage, safe access and support structures for railway systems. Your work will span a wide range of civil engineering challenges. You will collaborate across disciplines in a complex, safety-critical environment, integrating designs that meet strict rail standards and health and safety requirements. Using latest digital tools and engineering software, you will help develop solutions that are resilient, and future-ready. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability and sustainability of rail transport. You will gain experience across all stages of project delivery, from concept to construction, and work on both UK and international projects that shape the future of rail, including light rail and tram systems.
An energy engineer works on supporting our clients in delivery of new connections and grid upgrades to help the UK Electricity Industry meet its Net Zero carbon reduction ambitions.
As a civil engineer in highways and transportation, you will help shape the future of transport infrastructure—designing safe, sustainable, and innovative solutions that connect people and communities. You will work on a wide array of infrastructure such as roads, junctions, bridges, and active travel routes. Your role may include designing foundations, earthworks, retaining structures or drainage systems using tools like Civil 3D, OpenRoads, and BIM. You may shape the future of design, embracing generative design; technologies expected to play an increasingly significant role in shaping the future of design across industries. Your role will also focus on enhancing highways resilience—designing infrastructure that can withstand growing demand and climate pressures. You can gain exposure to transport planning, traffic modelling, and policy alignment, to help shape strategic decisions. You will work with other disciplines, attend site visits, and ensure your designs are safe and buildable. You will engage with clients and stakeholders, developing your skills across all stages of project delivery—from concept to construction—on UK and international projects, from local upgrades to major schemes.
