 Engineering Opportunities at Warwickshire County Council

Design Services, Warwickshire County Council are a civil engineering business unit within the Local Authority that provide a design consultancy service to both the private and public sector. The core business is comprised of the design and construction of highways and highway structures, but we also manage the maintenance of County's highway structure assets and operate a building and structural design service.

This year we are aiming to appoint two new Graduate Engineers. The proposed posts will be in the Bridge and Structural Design and Highway Design Teams.

The Bridge and Structural Design Team are responsible for the technical design of new highway structures and educational buildings, often working as part of large integrated teams including a wide range of engineering disciplines. Projects range from new buildings to new highway and drainage infrastructure to the improvement or replacement of existing structural assets which have fallen into disrepair or require a change in use. The team also provides technical engineering support to County Council Depts seeking to enhance existing farming infrastructure and waste management facilities and we have even had the opportunity to provide a technical advisory role to local government projects in Sierra Leone where they are seeking to improve their local municipal facilities.

The S278 Section facilitates the delivery of developments within the County.  The Section has a large portfolio of Developer-led highway schemes, and is responsible for technical approval, procurement of contractors and supervision of these schemes
