We are seeking an experienced Lead Bridge Engineer to take technical responsibility for the delivery of bridge engineering projects from concept through to completion. This is an opportunity to lead multidisciplinary teams, provide sound engineering judgement and contribute to the development of safe, sustainable and buildable transport infrastructure. You will work across a varied portfolio of bridge and civil structures, supporting clients, contractors and project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include leading the design and assessment of bridges, viaducts, retaining structures and associated civil engineering works; preparing and reviewing calculations, drawings, specifications and technical reports; and ensuring that all designs comply with relevant British Standards, Eurocodes, design guidance and health and safety requirements. You will coordinate design activities, manage technical risks, oversee inspections and surveys, and provide engineering input during construction. The role will also involve mentoring engineers, checking technical deliverables, contributing to fee proposals and programmes, and maintaining effective communication with internal and external stakeholders.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil or structural engineering and have substantial experience in bridge design, assessment, strengthening or maintenance. Chartered Engineer status, or a clear pathway towards professional registration, is preferred. You will need strong knowledge of structural analysis and design principles, bridge inspection and assessment methodologies, and relevant industry standards. Experience with design software and technical modelling packages, together with the ability to manage competing priorities, would be advantageous. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is a collaborative approach to problem-solving. The successful candidate will be commercially aware, organised and confident in providing technical leadership while maintaining a strong focus on quality, safety and sustainability.
