We are seeking a Senior Bridge Engineer to lead the delivery of complex bridge and structural engineering projects from concept through to completion. This role will involve providing technical direction, developing innovative and practical design solutions, and ensuring that projects are delivered to the highest standards of safety, quality, sustainability, and value. You will work across a varied portfolio of new-build, inspection, assessment, strengthening, repair, and rehabilitation schemes involving bridges and associated highway structures.
Key responsibilities will include preparing and checking calculations, specifications, drawings, technical reports, and design documentation; managing design packages and coordinating multidisciplinary teams; undertaking structural assessments and developing repair or strengthening strategies; and supporting the preparation of bids, programmes, and fee proposals. You will liaise with clients, contractors, statutory authorities, and other stakeholders, providing clear technical advice throughout the project lifecycle. The role will also involve mentoring junior engineers, reviewing work to ensure compliance with relevant standards and procedures, identifying and managing technical risks, and contributing to continuous improvement across engineering processes.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil or structural engineering and have substantial experience in bridge design, assessment, inspection, or asset management. Professional registration or a clear path towards chartership is preferred, together with strong knowledge of applicable design standards, codes, and guidance. Experience with structural analysis and design software, bridge inspection techniques, and common materials such as reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel is highly desirable. You will be confident communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences, capable of managing competing priorities, and comfortable taking ownership of complex tasks. A collaborative approach, sound commercial awareness, and a commitment to health, safety, quality, and sustainable engineering are essential.
