The Asset Integrity - Built Environment Group is looking for an experienced Chartered Civil/Structural Engineer to join our respected and thriving specialist team. This is an exciting time to come on board, with a range of opportunities to deliver your expertise and contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects. We're a growing team experiencing high demand for our capabilities. We’re looking for motivated individuals ready to mentor the development of juniors and oversee the governance of great delivery, who are driven to make a difference in highly regulated, safety-critical industries.

We offer a unique opportunity to work across industries and sectors on some of the UK’s most complex infrastructure programmes. We endeavour to maintain a varied pipeline of opportunities both in nature and size of projects, and to be at the forefront of technology developments. If you're a technically capable, team player, and motivated by challenging projects, we would welcome your application.

About The Team

The Built Environment group operates to assure the safety of structures and assets subject to conventional and extreme hazards. Our integrated team establishes load conditions, structural responses, design solutions, testing programmes, substantiations and assurance against a variety of hazards. While our projects are challenging, the team promotes a collaborative and supportive environment, where knowledge is shared openly. We are always looking to improve, both technically and professionally. Asset Integrity has a breadth of capability ranging from physical testing to design, research and advanced analysis. The purpose of the area is to support clients in understanding the life, degradation, integrity and performance of components, systems and assets from concept design to decommissioning. Your colleagues will have a wide range of backgrounds from fundamental materials science, strength of materials research, stress engineering, testing and measurement, field-based work and plant/facilities management and assessment. Therefore, if working across engineering disciplines to solve complex problems appeals to you, you would be a great fit. The Built Environment team specialises in withstand and assurance of structures for scenarios such as seismic, fire, blast, impact, life extension, modification and operational safety, with particular respect to interfaces between mechanical and civil assets.

Nuclear energy (new build, operational fleet and decommissioning)
Nuclear defence (infrastructure design, substantiation and assurance)
Renewables (e.g., onshore solar, offshore wind)
Process industries (e.g., chemical, hydrogen production)
Transport (e.g., rail, marine)

Skills

Your role will vary depending on skills and experience, but our current investment focusses on strengthening our support and mentoring for junior engineers, where we seek an experienced Chartered Civil/Structural Engineer to lead the governance of projects and provide technical oversight covering:

Structural verification and code assessments (e.g., Eurocode, ASCE, AISC), via software or hand calculations

Concept development and feasibility analysis
Civil/mechanical interface definition and integration
Beyond-code assessments and safety case development
Groundworks and geotechnical assessment
Decommissioning and enabling works support

Lead and shape projects, including managing projects from scoping to delivery
Engage directly with clients to define project needs and opportunities, and develop long‑term relationships
Contribute to the direction and development of our team’s capability, including mentoring junior engineers
Lead development of capability relative to your specialism and own the development of opportunities and workstreams in that space.
