Senior Tunnel Construction Engineer

Reference: xkne5t9h5bvknfeltw4o

We are seeking a Senior Tunnel Construction Engineer to lead the technical delivery of major tunnelling and underground infrastructure works. This role will be responsible for providing engineering direction throughout the construction lifecycle, from planning and mobilisation through to completion, commissioning and handover. You will work closely with project managers, construction teams, designers, subcontractors and other stakeholders to ensure that works are delivered safely, efficiently, on programme and to the required quality standards.

Key responsibilities will include developing and reviewing construction methodologies, temporary works proposals, risk assessments, inspection and test plans, and detailed work packages. You will oversee tunnelling activities and associated civil works, monitor progress against programme and budget, and provide practical solutions to technical challenges encountered on site. The role will also involve coordinating site investigations, reviewing design information, managing technical queries and non-conformances, and ensuring compliance with relevant specifications, standards, permits and regulatory requirements. You will support procurement and subcontractor management, contribute to progress reporting, and maintain accurate engineering and construction records.

Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, tunnelling, construction engineering or a related discipline, together with substantial experience delivering complex tunnel or underground construction projects. A strong understanding of tunnelling methods, ground conditions, temporary works, excavation support systems, underground structures and construction safety is essential. Experience with methods such as tunnel boring machines, sprayed concrete lining, cut-and-cover, shaft construction or drill-and-blast would be advantageous. You should be confident interpreting technical drawings and specifications, using construction management systems, and leading multidisciplinary teams in demanding site environments. Strong communication, problem-solving and stakeholder-management skills are required, along with a proactive approach to safety, quality and continuous improvement. The position may require regular site-based work, shift patterns and travel between project locations.
