Rolton is an established, award-winning, professional multi-disciplinary engineering practice with a passion for excellence, innovation and environmental sustainability.

Throughout every project, we use our construction and engineering experience and our knowledge of the client’s business to add value. Our multi-disciplinary teams work alongside clients and developers.

We are looking for a Project Engineer to join an existing civil engineering team, which provides highway and drainage infrastructure support to a number of Blue-Chip International Brands for projects primarily within the automotive, commercial, industrial, retail, education and residential sectors.

The successful candidate will be responsible, under the leadership of an Associate Director, for the internal day-to-day management of small to medium scale projects and the engineering solutions for numerous schemes for clients across these sectors. The ability to operate as part of a wider project team and to represent the company with confidence to a variety of clients and outside organisations is required for the role. The candidate will have the ability to work on their own initiative and to coordinate their work with others, with high attention to accuracy and detail.

As such, there must be demonstrable technical ability and design experience on matters of estate infrastructure, roads and drainage design and detail; experience with design and detail of schemes requiring technical approval of Section (S)38, 104 and S278 applications, flood risk assessments and drainage strategies, whilst not essential, will be advantageous to a candidate. Good communication, report writing skills and thorough working capability with AutoCAD and Causeway Flow are essential; familiarity with design software such as PDS and Civil 3D is desirable and development of skills in these will be provided, if not already held.

A self-motivated person will have ample opportunity to improve their knowledge, skills, experience and to work with some of the world’s greatest businesses across a wide range of industry sectors. The role will suit a candidate with a minimum of Three [3]- Five [5] years relevant post-graduate experience and pursuing their Chartered Engineer status with the Institution of Civil Engineers. In this respect, an internal mentoring and fully-funded training programme aimed at supporting the individual’s progression to Chartered Engineer status, will be provided. This is an exciting opportunity to progress in a consultancy that is ‘Engineering the Future’.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We celebrate our inclusive and diverse work environment and encourage all people irrespective of age, sex, marital status, pregnancy and maternity status, disability, sexual orientation, gender, race, colour, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, to apply.

We are committed to having an inclusive and transparent environment where every voice is heard and acknowledged. We embrace our differences and know that our diverse team is a strength that drives our success.
