Senior Highways Design Engineer - Contract (Outside IR35)

  • Based in Stockport, Manchester
  • Outside IR35 | 3-6 Month Contract
  • Up to £40.00 per hour
  • 37-40 hours per week
  • 4 days office (Mon-Thu) / 1 day WFH (Fri)



I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Highways Design Engineer to join a well-established consultancy's Highways design team, based out of their Stockport office.
This role would suit someone with a strong background in local authority highways design - particularly active travel, pedestrianisation, and cycle schemes - rather than motorway projects. You'll be joining a supportive, busy team delivering high-profile local transport improvements across the region.
What we're looking for:

  • Experience in Highways Design (local roads / active travel schemes)
  • Strong knowledge of DMRB and local authority design standards
  • Proficiency with industry design software (e.g. Civil 3D, AutoCAD)
  • Able to produce detailed design drawings and reports to a high standard
  • Based within commuting distance of Stockport



The details:

  • Outside IR35
  • 3-6 month initial contract (potential for extension)
  • Up to £40.00 per hour
  • Hybrid working: 4 days in the office (Mon-Thu), 1 day WFH (Fri)


If you have strong highways design experience within the local authority or consultancy space and are looking for your next contract role in the Manchester area, I'd love to hear from you.
