Do you have 2-5 years experience in an infrastructure design team and is it time for a new challenge? My client are a medium sized consultancy who specialise in transport planning, infrastructure design and flood risk for the development sector.
They are seeking to grow their busy infrastructure team with the appointment of an engineer to assist with both flood risk assessment (FRA), drainage and highway design capabilities.
The team are working on a wide variety of interesting projects ranging from small residential schemes to new film production studios and garden village new settlements. The ideal candidate will have anything between 2-5 years experience, having worked primarily in the consultancy side of the industry on behalf of private developers, and ideally being proficient in the use of relevant drainage and 3D software.
Your workload will be varied, working under instruction from our principal engineers and supporting them in preparing reporting (FRA's), SUDS strategies and drainage designs on some projects , and then S278 highway design and S38 designs on others.
The role would therefore suit someone who is yet to have decided to focus on one aspect of engineering but keen to learn and develop their skills in all areas.
Specific requirements are as follows, though we would be willing to speak to candidates who have different levels of experience in each.
Responsibilities:
·Carrying out desktop flood risk assessments on sites varying in size across all flood zones,
·Producing surface and foul water drainage strategies and drawings, including SuDS strategies,
·Preparing flood risk assessment and drainage strategy reports,
·Undertake hydraulic drainage modelling using Infodrainage/Site 3D/Civils 3D,
·Preparing responses to comments from the local planning authority/LLFA/highway authorities/RSA Teams etc,
·Undertake detailed design of below ground drainage, including production of drawings,
·Project manage some projects and/or assist the project manager to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget,
