We are delighted to be recruiting for a Civil Engineer Technician to join our experienced and friendly team. In this role, you will assist with the delivery of significant capital projects across Stockton-on-Tees, from routine improvements to large-scale major highway works. Some of our recent projects include the Bishopsgarth Bridge installations, Elton Interchange, Thornaby Towns Fund cycleways and Durham Lane cycleway. Civil Engineering at the Council is uniquely rewarding, offering a hands-on approach that allows you to work on a project from initial design and planning through to the construction and completion stages.

You'll have the satisfaction of seeing the results of your hard work and the pride in knowing: 'I helped build that', as well as directly shaping a sustainable built environment for the local communities and future generations of the Borough. Alongside a great salary, you will develop your knowledge through a combination of formal training and on-the-job learning to gain invaluable experience and skills that pave the way for exciting opportunities and career progression. This is more than just a job-it's a pathway to a promising future. You will receive the support you need to thrive and career development opportunities - in fact many of our senior team started their career at Stockton and have loved it so much they have stayed! Don't just take our word for it! Here's what our team think… 'Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is a great environment for me to learn multiple disciplines of civil engineering, and I am able to work on various schemes within highways, structures, and flooding.

- 27 days annual leave per year rising to 32 with 5 years service (plus bank holidays). Ability to purchase additional leave is also available.
