We are seeking an experienced Lead Bridge Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, assessment, inspection and delivery of bridge and civil structures projects. This is an opportunity to take a leading role in the development of safe, sustainable and constructible solutions, working across a varied portfolio that may include highway, rail, pedestrian and other transport-related structures. You will lead projects from concept through to detailed design, construction support and completion, ensuring that technical, commercial, programme and quality requirements are consistently achieved.
Your responsibilities will include managing and mentoring bridge engineering teams; reviewing and approving calculations, drawings, specifications and technical reports; undertaking and overseeing structural assessments, inspections and feasibility studies; and coordinating with clients, contractors, architects, geotechnical specialists and other disciplines. You will contribute to design reviews, risk management, buildability assessments and value engineering, while ensuring compliance with relevant British Standards, Eurocodes, industry guidance and health and safety legislation. The role will also involve preparing fee proposals, supporting business development, managing project budgets and programmes, and representing the engineering team at meetings and stakeholder consultations.
Applicants should hold a degree in civil or structural engineering and ideally be professionally qualified, or working towards professional registration, with an appropriate UK engineering institution. You will have substantial experience in bridge design, assessment or asset management, together with strong knowledge of structural analysis and design principles. Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering projects within consultancy or contracting environments is highly desirable. Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to develop trusted relationships with clients and colleagues. Familiarity with design and analysis software, technical assurance processes and digital engineering tools would be advantageous. In return, you can expect a varied workload, opportunities for professional development and the chance to influence the delivery of high-quality infrastructure projects.
