We are looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join our global and highly professional team of specialists that provides detailed engineering and project management on numerous civil design projects and will report under the Head of Discipline. Your primary task in our team will be to apply sound and diversified knowledge of engineering principles and practices in broad areas of assignment and related fields.
