We are partnered with a successful housebuilder to strengthen their Technical department with an Engineering Manager. You will work across a variety of live projects, managing the design, coordination, and delivery of infrastructure and civil works that bring communities to life. This is an off-market opportunity we are handling exclusively, ideal for engineers with experience in low-rise traditional build housing from either a developer, consultancy, or main contractor background.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Take the lead role in the design and delivery of infrastructure, drainage, highways and external works for residential developments.
  • Review engineering drawings, specifications and calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance.
  • Manage and coordinate technical submissions to local authorities and statutory bodies (S38, S278, S104, etc.).
  • Act as a key technical interface between consultants, contractors, and internal teams to support the delivery of cost-effective and buildable solutions.
  • Provide senior-level technical support to site teams and help resolve on-site engineering issues.
  • Monitor project progress, budgets, and risks from an engineering perspective.
  • Support adoption processes for completed infrastructure and liaise with relevant authorities.

Key Skills & Experience:

  • Experience working within a housebuilding, consultancy, or civil engineering environment at a senior level.
  • Strong technical knowledge of infrastructure design, groundworks, and adoption processes.
  • In-depth with relevant design standards, Building Regulations, and planning processes.
  • Proficient in CAD and engineering design software (e.g., Civil 3D or PDS).
  • Highly organised with strong communication skills, with a proactive and problem-solving mindset.
