Are you and experienced Engineer ready to step into a role where your ideas actually shape developments, not just tick boxes?

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Engineer to play a hands-on role across the full lifecycle of residential developments, from early-stage land appraisal right through to delivery on site.

The Role:

You’ll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where your input is valued, your voice is heard, and your work directly influences the success of each project

Key Responsibilities:

This is a broad, impactful role where no two days look the same. You’ll be:

  • Supporting projects from concept through to completion, ensuring technical excellence at every stage.
  • Producing Engineering Reports to support land acquisition and early-stage decision making.
  • Working closely with consultants to drive efficient, practical and cost-effective design solutions.
  • Managing risk and opportunity across projects, keeping appraisals and registers up to date.
  • Attending and contributing to technical and site meetings, ensuring actions are delivered.
  • Navigating statutory approvals and ensuring programmes stay on track.
  • Monitoring planning conditions and legal agreements to ensure full compliance.
  • Reviewing civils and structural designs, challenging where needed to achieve the best outcomes.
  • Supporting wider business functions with engineering and utilities expertise when required.
What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, thinking creatively, and working as part of a team:

  • Around 4–5 years’ experience within a housebuilder or engineering consultancy environment.
  • Strong understanding of engineering design within residential development.
  • Experience working with local authorities, SEPA and Scottish Water would be advantageous.
  • Confident communicator, able to translate technical detail clearly.
  • Proactive, organised and solutions-focused in your approach.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office.

Desirable

  • BSc in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
  • Previous experience working directly for a housebuilder.
Why this role?

This is more than just another engineering role. It’s a chance to:

  • Have real influence across projects, not just a narrow scope.
  • Work within a genuinely collaborative and supportive team.
  • Develop your technical expertise across the full development lifecycle.
  • Be part of a business delivering high-quality, well-considered residential schemes.
