Key responsibilities
- Develop and review tunnel designs, construction methodologies, temporary works and associated technical documentation.
- Provide engineering support during construction, including resolving technical queries and assessing design changes.
- Monitor tunnelling activities, excavation sequences, ground conditions, lining works and the installation of support systems.
- Review contractor submissions, method statements, inspection records and quality documentation.
- Assist with risk assessments, constructability reviews and the management of health, safety and environmental requirements.
- Coordinate with geotechnical, structural, civil, rail, mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines.

About you
You will have a degree or equivalent qualification in civil engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering or a related discipline, together with relevant experience in tunnelling, underground construction or major infrastructure projects. A sound understanding of tunnel excavation methods, temporary works, sprayed concrete lining, segmental lining and ground support systems is highly desirable.
You should be confident interpreting engineering drawings, specifications and technical standards, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Experience using relevant design, modelling or project management software would be advantageous. Professional registration, or active progress towards professional accreditation, is welcomed.
What we offer
This is an opportunity to contribute to technically challenging projects while developing your expertise within a collaborative engineering environment. You will receive support for professional development and be encouraged to take an active role in improving processes, technical delivery and project outcomes.
