Job description

Overview

You will develop your skills in cutting-edge software like CAD and Revit 3D modelling, while gaining a deep understanding of structural engineering principles. You will work alongside experienced engineers on a diverse range of projects, collaborating with architects, civil engineers, and planners to deliver innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

• Apply civil engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review and evaluate the results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining or operating civil engineering components and systems; consider how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance.
• Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
• Identify, interpret and compare information to select materials, components or parts used in civil engineering.
• Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate civil engineering problems.
• Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
• Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
• Contribute to the design, development and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
• Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
• Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks.
• Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of civil engineering solutions.
• Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
