Are you an experienced Engineer looking for the next step in your career?
If you’ve got experience in the design or delivery of highways and infrastructure project delivery, Devon County Council could be a great fit for you.
In our in-house consultancy we design and deliver engineering projects for our internal clients, we manage projects from their inception to delivery on site. This means you’ll get experience in design, project management, site supervision and commercial decision making. If any of those are new to you, we’ll make sure you get the support to play a full part in your projects.
What projects will I be working on?
Our projects span a huge range from the replacement of traffic signals equipment and modifications to existing junctions to town centre enhancements, new cycle trails, recycling centres, urban link roads and flood risk projects. We also undertake much larger projects, the North Devon Link Road improvement project is currently on site (£46m) and the A382 MRN project in Newton Abbot (£44m) is in the design stages.
Who will I be working with?
The Engineering Design Group is a department of almost 100 people, we are Engineers and Technicians who are passionate about delivering high quality infrastructure projects in our community. You will be working in a team of approximately 8 people supported by a Principal Engineer. We are supported by our colleagues across the broader fields of Environnment, Highway & Traffic Management and Planning to name a few. We are proud to have an established partnership with WSP.
A green future
Devon County Council declared a climate emergency in 2019, since then decarbonisation has been high on the agenda when considering what we build and how we maintain it. In 2022 we were successful in bidding for £3.7m Live Labs funding to trial innovations aimed at decarbonising highway infrastructure. We intend that this project will change the way in which we think about the design and delivery of highway projects and we’re enthusiastic about meeting the challenge.
What benefits will I get?
You’ll get a competitive salary, plus a range of benefits that include:
