Civil Engineer

The Anglian Water Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) project currently involves the planning, design and construction of circa 320km of new strategic, large diameter, clean water interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure across Anglian Water’s region. The SPA Alliance is also taking on responsibility for the future interconnector pipelines, a further 260km of strategic interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure. 

As a Civil Engineer you will provide designs which are innovative and deliver value for money whilst acting as a proactive problem solver by applying engineering principles. You will assist in reviewing and preparing a scope of works, methodology, programme, and resource estimate for implementing the design stage of the project and design support during construction. You will be embedded within the SPA delivery team and be responsible for supporting a section of the design output. You will undertake a defined workload and liaise with Technical Leads, Design Leads, other discipline designers and Client representatives in this role. 

This role will not be required to attend the Peterborough office regularly, but be available to attend 2-3 days over 5-6 weeks and site visits once a month (to be agreed). 

At Costain, we believe diverse perspectives drive innovation. If you’re passionate about making a positive impact and think you can bring value to our team, we’d love to hear from you—even if you don’t tick every box. Your unique skills and experiences could be exactly what we need.
