| Description: | Location: London, Warwick or Manchester The Opportunity We are currently recruiting for a Senior Civil Engineer to join our client on an initial 6-month contract, supporting an increased workload during a busy period. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced civil engineer to join a well-established Civil & Structural team and take ownership of design packages across a range of infrastructure and built-environment projects. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with minimal supervision, taking responsibility for defined areas of work and delivering high-quality civil engineering designs from concept through to completion.

About the Team You will join an immediate Civil & Structural team of approximately 30 people, comprising civil engineers, structural engineers and technicians across a range of experience levels. The wider UK Civil & Structural team consists of approximately 200 employees. The role reports to an Associate within Civil & Structural and does not have direct line-management responsibility.
