Senior/Principal Civil Engineer

A multi-year program reviewing the West Midlands Low Risk Debris Screens for the Environment Agency requires a skilled professional to support ongoing work. The project involves managing over 36 screens, which will need removal, replacement, or modification.
 
The position is suitable for a Senior or Principal Engineer level professional. The successful candidate will be required to work from the Birmingham city centre office for three days per week.
 
Preferred qualifications include experience using the EA Standard Object Library in conjunction with Revit. However, experience in designing weed screens for pumping stations is not relevant to this role.
 
The program is expected to be completed by November 2025, so a long-term secondment is anticipated. The initial contract will likely be extended to this date. The preferred start date is October 2024, though an earlier start is negotiable.
