Senior Structural Engineer - Water Projects

We are seeking a Senior Civil/Structural Engineer who thrives on being busy and having a sense of achievement at the end of each day. We are looking for someone motivated and with a positive attitude who will fit into our growing team. We’d like to recruit someone who has some post-graduate experience, but we’re more interested in the skills and attitude you bring rather than time served. You’ll enjoy working closely with clients on a range of demanding issues whilst helping to mentor and train more junior colleagues in order to protect the high standards that we’re proud of. 

The Role

Working within our Water and Environment Practice, our team is predominantly focused on delivering Infrastructure projects predominantly in the United Kingdom and Middle East.

You will join a group of civil engineering professionals helping to develop technical solutions across a wide range of challenging projects. We’d like you to be flexible; you could be working on a small individual assignment or as part of a larger, multi-disciplinary team taking on some of the most complex and challenging nuclear projects in the world. Our ideal candidate would be someone who is enthusiastic, with the drive to lead and inspire our younger engineers.

The Person

You will enjoy approaching things in different ways to find the best possible fit – you like making adjustments and playing with different approaches, trying to find the best approach to fit whatever is the current context. As soon as you’re presented with a problem, you are focused on how to resolve it, whatever it might be.

You don’t just tackle these things alone. You like to engage with others, and especially enjoy watching people develop and grow in your team. You enjoy explaining complex ideas, helping people to ‘get it’, and then watch them go on and achieve more.
In addition to having excellent communication and problem solving skills you will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Degree qualified Civil or Structural Engineer.
• Demonstrable experience within a Civil Engineering Design environment with particular emphasis on heavy Civil Engineering aspects.
• Chartered Engineer and a Member of ICE, IStructE, or both.
• Proven track record of excellent client engagement skills and the ability to win work.
• Experience of supervising, developing and mentoring others.
• Proven capability of leading technical aspects of civil / structural engineering projects.
• Proven design experience in areas such as optioneering, concept design and detailed design.
• Ability to manage the day to day contractual and commercial aspects of a project.
• Proactively seek senior advice and counsel and willingness to take on board feedback
• Strong technical background, including first principles analysis as well as experience of steel and reinforced concrete design using relevant UK and international codes/standards.
• Experience of design and analysis for extreme loads such as seismic, blast and impact.
• Experience with engineering software packages including finite element analysis.
