The Opportunity
We are working alongside a highly respected, independent transport and infrastructure consultancy to appoint a Highways Engineer / Technician for their Cambridge office.
This is a business known for punching above its weight technically. With a strong reputation in transport planning and infrastructure design, they operate with the agility of a specialist consultancy while delivering schemes that require robust technical credibility and close collaboration with local authorities.

Preparing detailed highway and drainage drawings
Supporting Section 278 and Section 38 highway approval submissions
Producing technical outputs using AutoCAD and Civil 3D
Assisting with access design, swept path analysis and visibility assessments
Coordinating with engineers and planners to ensure technically robust submissions
Supporting design development from feasibility through to approval
You'll be trusted to take responsibility for your outputs while working within a highly collaborative engineering environment.

Experience as a Highways or Civil Technician within a consultancy
Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D
Understanding of UK highways design standards and S278/S38 processes
Ability to manage multiple technical tasks with attention to detail
Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset
Why This Consultancy?
Genuine technical autonomy and responsibility at a consultancy offering competitive salary and Hybrid Working
Close collaboration between transport planners and engineers
Exposure to projects from early-stage feasibility to detailed design
Supportive team structure with clear progression routes
A culture focused on technical quality rather than volume output
