We’re working with a respected, independent civil and structural engineering consultancy in Belfast who are actively looking to appoint a Senior Civil Engineer – Water to join their growing water sector team.
With a strong, secured pipeline of water and wastewater infrastructure work across Northern Ireland, the Republic, and GB, this is a fantastic opportunity for a civil engineer with experience in water-related projects-someone who wants to play a key role in both project delivery and future growth. Think pipelines, treatment plants, pumping stations-these are the types of projects you’ll be hands-on with.
They’re a single-office consultancy with a genuinely impressive breadth of technical work. It’s the kind of place where you’re more than just a number-you’ll be trusted, given real responsibility, and encouraged to progress.
What’s in it for you?
Aside from being part of a highly capable and supportive team, you’ll get a generous benefits package: 34 days paid holiday, enhanced pension, hybrid working, private healthcare provisions, paid professional subscriptions, and a clear, supported career development pathway.
About the role:
This is a key technical position within the business of Senior Civil Engineer – Water, offering a blend of hands-on design work and leadership. You’ll lead on delivering detailed civil engineering design across clean water and wastewater infrastructure projects, while collaborating closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams.
What you’ll be doing:
Leading the engineering design and technical output on key water sector projects
Producing design documentation, calculations, drawings, and specifications
Acting as a technical point of contact for clients and project stakeholders
Supporting junior engineers and contributing to mentoring and knowledge sharing
Ensuring delivery aligns with internal systems and H&S protocols
Driving design quality and innovation across your team’s output
What they’re looking for:
BEng (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
Chartered or working towards Chartership (ICE/Engineers Ireland)
Minimum 5 years’ experience in a civil engineering consultancy
Hands-on experience with water or wastewater infrastructure projects
Competent using AutoCAD, Civil 3D and ideally Revit
Strong communicator with a collaborative, solution-focused mindset
Someone who can work autonomously while being a team player
If you’re a capable civil engineer with water sector experience who’s ready to step into a senior role-or you’re already operating at that level and want more ownership and flexibility-this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.
