We are gearing up for our most exciting and challenging Asset Management Period yet, known as AMP8, this will see us deliver a programme of work larger than we’ve ever delivered before. We’ll be embarking on a new kind of project delivery focusing on nature-based solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes.

We are driving change, empowering us to set global benchmarks and build a better environment, with the opportunity to offer enhanced growth and development to our workforce. We’re looking to build on our existing teams with an environment built for career progression.

With such an exciting portfolio of projects planned for AMP8 to keep the water flowing across the region, our ability to manage our work and outperform against our customer’s expectations will come under greater scrutiny.

We need aspiring driven talent to help us achieve our ambitious targets, are you ready to join us as we prepare to deliver the most creative and innovative AMP we have ever seen?

About Sweco

Transforming society together, we're planning and designing sustainable communities and cities of the future.

Solving the great societal challenges of our time is more relevant, demanding and inspiring than ever before. At Sweco, we bring together experts with different perspectives and skills to develop solutions that address the challenges of urbanisation, harness the positive power of digitalisation and make societies more sustainable.

We offer our clients a combination of global expertise and local presence, adapted to their business and reality. Our ambition is to be our clients’ most relevant partner, working together to help them solve their challenges, today and into the future.

To ensure we support our objectives of collaboration across the business whilst providing our workforce with the agility to achieve a healthy work/ life balance, we are asking our employees to have office or site presence on an average of three days a week.

As a Principal Civil Engineer within one of our four business units, you’ll provide engineering technical direction, collaborate with key stakeholders and support multi-disciplinary project teams. You’ll provide design support for numerous schemes and ensure all designs are fit for purpose and meet current legislation and standards, and completed on time and within budget.

A key aspect of this role includes leading, coaching, and developing junior and less experienced engineers.

What You’ll Be Doing

Check and review civil design deliverables produced by other Civil Engineers to ensure the processes and procedures are followed.
Input into Construction Design Management (CDM) and commissioning strategy meetings.
Review and ensure the design CDM deliverables have been completed for projects.
Maintain portfolio awareness in technical areas and disseminate knowledge across the civil engineering team.
Ensure compliance with Minimum Asset Standards and provide constructive challenges when necessary.
Work across Alliance project areas and Pan-Alliance to establish technical common standards and processes.
Implement and embrace new digital technologies to achieve fully attributed 3D models.
Provide one-on-one or team-based technical guidance and support to engineers.
Develop design alerts to promote continuous learning and improvement.

About You

You will ideally have:

Degree in engineering (or equivalent) and ideally chartered or working towards it.
Expertise in reinforced concrete, steel buildings, buried pipework, and site infrastructure.
Strong leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder management skills.
Passion for health, safety, and innovative design solutions.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.
