This is a senior technical leadership role, requiring strong engineering judgement, commercial awareness and the ability to work collaboratively with clients, contractors, design teams and stakeholders. You will contribute to the development of innovative, safe and sustainable solutions across a varied portfolio of bridge schemes, including new construction, strengthening, refurbishment and assessment projects.
Your responsibilities will include leading multidisciplinary design teams; preparing and reviewing technical reports, calculations, specifications and drawings; managing design risk and ensuring compliance with relevant standards, codes and health and safety requirements. You will provide technical assurance and independent checking where appropriate, support inspections and structural assessments, and guide the development of practical solutions for complex engineering challenges.
