Senior Infrastructure Engineer
- Gateshead, Tyne and Wear
- £45,000-60,000 per year
- Permanent
- Full-time
We're partnered with an independent, design-focused engineering consultancy that's making a real impact in the residential development space. With an increasing workload and a solid pipeline of schemes across the UK, they're now looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to strengthen their growing team in either Gateshead or Corby.
The Role
You'll take the lead on multiple residential infrastructure projects - managing design delivery, supporting junior engineers, and liaising with clients, architects, and local authorities. Projects typically involve:
·Highways and drainage design (Section 38/104/278)
·Earthworks, levels, and cut/fill analysis
·Surface water management and utilities coordination
·Technical approvals and liaison with stakeholders
You'll join a tight-knit team of four engineers, working closely with senior leadership who remain hands-on and accessible. There's a clear path toward Associate level and beyond, for those keen to grow with the business.
What Makes This Different?
·No red tape. You'll work directly with decision-makers and see your ideas get actioned.
·You'll lead real, buildable projects - not endless concept stages.
·The business has a solid reputation with national and regional housebuilders, and repeat clients make up a large share of their work.
·Culture-wise, it's collaborative, straight-talking, and grounded in practical engineering.
About You
·Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering (or related)
·5-10 years' experience in UK civil/infrastructure design, ideally in residential development
·Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD, Civil 3D and/or MicroDrainage
·Confident in managing technical approvals, reports, and project delivery
·Comfortable mentoring junior team members and working closely with clients
·Based within reach of Gateshead or Corby (3+ days in-office per week)
