Are you a Civil Engineer who is looking to take the next step in their career?
We are growing the team in our new Durham office and there is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Civil Engineer to join our multi-discipline workforce.
You will be part of the Engineering team, playing an important part in the work we do, overseeing building schemes and working collaboratively with other disciplines efficiently and effectively. You will use your engineering knowledge and experience to take on important elements of design on the various projects Align works on from schools and public buildings to refurbishments and new homes.
Our Civils team is currently delivering a diverse portfolio of challenging and rewarding projects across the region. This includes a full septic tank replacement scheme at Watchtree Nature Reserve in Carlisle, taking designs from feasibility through to construction support within a sensitive rural environment. We're leading highway and drainage design for a major infrastructure project at Selby Train Station, integrating SuDS features and coordinating works in a complex rail-adjacent setting. In Hambleton, the team is undertaking full estate road and drainage design for a 100+ unit residential development, including SuDS strategy and Section 38/104 processes with close liaison with the Local Authority and statutory undertakers. We're also supporting a fast-paced commercial scheme in Easingwold, providing comprehensive civil engineering design for a new supermarket and petrol filling station covering levels, drainage, highways interfaces, earthworks and multi-disciplinary coordination.
