Civil Design Technician (Stormwater) – Fixed-Term

You'll design and supervise infrastructure people use every day, with the civil engineering consultancy in Epping. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
