How to Apply for Senior or Principal Civil Engineer - Infrastructure
at Ramboll Management Consulting
🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting
Ramboll Management Consulting is a global engineering and consultancy firm at the forefront of decarbonization and sustainable business models. Working here means contributing to transformative projects that address climate change, with a strong emphasis on innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The company's commitment to sustainability and its reputation for technical excellence make it an attractive employer for engineers who want to make a tangible impact.
About This Role
As a Senior or Principal Civil Engineer in Infrastructure, you will lead the design and delivery of key civil engineering elements—such as SuDS, drainage, earthworks, and highways—across complex projects. This role is impactful because you'll integrate your designs with other disciplines, ensuring constructible and coordinated outcomes while also mentoring junior team members and managing project financials. Your work directly supports Ramboll's mission to drive sustainable infrastructure solutions.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a team stand-up to review project progress, followed by technical design work on a SuDS scheme using Civil 3D. You might then attend a coordination meeting with structural and environmental engineers to ensure alignment, and later review a junior engineer's drainage calculations. After lunch, you could prepare a fee forecast for a new project proposal, and end the day with a mentoring session with a graduate engineer.
