How much do sustainable civil engineering jobs pay per hour?

As of Jul 27, 2026, the average hourly pay for sustainable civil engineering in the United States is $25.39, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $20.43 and $27.64 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

How does a sustainable civil engineer typically collaborate with other professionals on green infrastructure projects?

Sustainable civil engineers work closely with a diverse team, including architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and construction managers, to design and implement eco-friendly infrastructure. Collaboration is key to ensuring that sustainability goals—such as energy efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and use of renewable materials—are integrated into every phase of a project. Regular meetings, interdisciplinary workshops, and open communication help align project objectives and address challenges early on. This teamwork enables sustainable civil engineers to create innovative solutions that meet both technical and environmental standards.

What is sustainable civil engineering?

Sustainable civil engineering is the practice of designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure in a way that minimizes environmental impact, conserves resources, and promotes long-term ecological balance. It involves using materials and methods that reduce pollution, energy consumption, and waste, while supporting social and economic needs. Sustainable civil engineers seek innovative solutions to create resilient cities, transportation networks, and water systems that remain viable for future generations.

What is the difference between Sustainable Civil Engineering vs Civil Engineering?

AspectSustainable Civil EngineeringCivil Engineering
CredentialsEngineering degree, possibly with specialization in sustainability or environmental engineeringEngineering degree, often with broad civil engineering focus
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, environmental consulting firms, design offices with emphasis on eco-friendly projectsConstruction sites, infrastructure projects, design firms
Industry UsageFocus on environmentally sustainable infrastructure and resource efficiencyDesign, construction, and maintenance of general infrastructure

While both roles involve civil engineering principles, Sustainable Civil Engineering emphasizes eco-friendly design and resource efficiency, whereas Civil Engineering covers a broader range of infrastructure projects without specific sustainability focus.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Sustainable Civil Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Sustainable Civil Engineer, you need a solid background in civil engineering principles, environmental science, and sustainable design, usually supported by a relevant degree and professional licensure (e.g., PE or LEED accreditation). Familiarity with computer-aided design (CAD) software, life-cycle assessment tools, and sustainable building standards is typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills help you collaborate effectively and advocate for green solutions. These abilities ensure that infrastructure projects minimize environmental impact while meeting safety, regulatory, and community needs.

Job description

Overview

Cundall's Civil Engineering team pride ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and sustainable civil engineering and infrastructure solutions, focused on improving and protecting the environment in which we live, while providing the facilities for day-to-day life, ensuring that transport and industry function effectively.

As one of the longest established of Cundall's many disciplines, the Civil Engineering team are a source of world leading expertise - and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence.

Responsibilities

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Civil Infrastructure Engineer to join our UK team to play a leading role in the development of our civil engineering team and the design of some of the most exciting and prestigious civil engineering design projects in the UK and internationally. We have a fantastic pipeline of work which includes projects within the UK and around the world giving the opportunity for experiencing many different ways of working, local codes and client requirements.

Working alongside a team of specialist engineers and technicians, as well as colleagues across a range of various engineering disciplines, you will ensure the delivery of technically excellent and profitable projects. 

You will take responsibility for all aspects of design across a numerous and varied portfolio of civil engineering projects, concerned predominantly with infrastructure within the built environment.  

You will have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop and will be supported towards Chartership (CEng) if not already achieved.

Qualifications

Educated to degree level in Civil Engineering (MEng or BEng), and having already achieved or being close to  achieving chartership with the Institution of Civil Engineers (CEng or equivalent), you should have demonstrable experience in a Civil Engineering role within a consultancy environment, and be well versed in relevant civil design software such as AutoCAD, Infodrainage and Civil 3D.  Knowledge of QGIS and Flood modeller, HEC-RAS, ReFH2 and WINFAP5 would be an advantage.

You should have some knowledge of the UK construction market with relevant experience in civil engineering design relating to the built environment, including the design of infrastructure (for example roads, drainage, flood risk assessments, pavements, public realm, earthworks, utility infrastructure) for both highway and drainage authorities (design to adoptable standards) and developers, taking schemes from initial concept/risk identification, through appropriate approval processes and on to detailed design for construction. 

Experience of infrastructure as part of buildings projects working closely with other disciplines would also be an advantage.  

The successful candidate will possess both technical knowledge and managerial ability with a proven track record in being able to successfully deliver projects (on time and within budgetary constraints) and have the ability to manage multiple large-scale projects and less experienced engineers to deliver to and exceed client expectations. 

Crucially, you share Cundall's passion for creative, sustainable and intuitive design.
