Senior Bridge Engineer – Shape the Future of Transportation with Us!
Are you ready to lead innovative projects that redefine transportation and infrastructure? Join our dynamic, collaborative team where every voice is heard, and each challenge is met head-on. In a workplace that values diversity, inclusion, and flexibility, we prioritize work-life balance and empower you to shape your ideal role—whether through remote work, reduced weeks, or tailored support when returning from a career break. Here, we support you so you can focus on making a meaningful impact.
As a Senior Bridge Engineer in our Bridges and Civils team, part of the Transportation division, you will play a key role in transforming the future of transportation across the UK. Additionally, we support a wide array of local authority projects and contribute to non-transportation civil and structural projects throughout the UK and internationally.
Your Purpose:
- Deliver top-notch civil and structural designs for projects across construction, renewals, maintenance, and assessments. Work alongside national and international design teams, using your expertise to create sustainable, positive impacts for society and the environment.
- Manage and review design documentation, from drawings and calculations to comprehensive reports, ensuring high standards are maintained. Define scopes, manage budgets, and ensure quality deliverables by collaborating with internal and external teams.
- Lead the design, assessment, and maintenance of structural projects, providing multi-disciplinary input on complex projects. Spearhead bids, win new work, and cultivate strong relationships with clients.
- A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or a related field), and a professional qualification (CEng/IEng) with ICE or IStructE membership.
- Experience collaborating with major clients such as National Highways, Network Rail, local authorities, and leading contractors. Strong knowledge of design standards (e.g., Eurocodes, DMRB, MCHW) and bridge design software like LUSAS, MIDAS, and Autodesk Structural Bridge Design.
- Proven experience in design, maintenance, and supervision of structural projects, with a knack for creative, efficient design and management. Strong communication and interpersonal abilities to engage effectively with clients, stakeholders, and colleagues across various engineering disciplines.
- Excellent project management skills, commercial acumen, and the ability to navigate diverse contract types, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery.
