You will work on a varied portfolio of structures, including highway bridges, railway bridges, viaducts, culverts, retaining structures and associated civil engineering assets. The role will involve collaborating with clients, contractors, asset owners and other engineering disciplines to develop safe, practical and cost-effective solutions.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and undertake the design, assessment and refurbishment of bridges and related structures in accordance with relevant British and European Standards.
- Manage technical work packages, programmes, budgets and deliverables across multiple projects.
- Prepare and review calculations, specifications, drawings, technical reports and risk assessments.
- Carry out structural inspections, condition surveys and site investigations, including work in operational road and rail environments.
- Provide technical guidance and mentoring to graduate and developing engineers.
