Job description

If you’re an ambitious engineer looking to make a real impact on complex, high‑profile civil engineering projects across the UK and internationally, this opportunity stands out. Our client is a specialist consultancy working at the forefront of major infrastructure and coastal/marine development. Their projects shape cities, protect communities, and enhance global connectivity - from new international port developments to the renewal of historic waterfront structures.

This is a chance to step into a senior role where your ideas carry weight, your leadership is recognised, and your career can grow in a supportive, expert environment.

The Role

We’re seeking a chartered or nearly chartered Engineer with 4–5+ years’ experience in heavy civil or structural design. Maritime experience is beneficial but not essential - what matters most is your willingness to learn and your ability to tackle complex engineering challenges and deliver meaningful, lasting solutions.

As a key member of a collaborative and highly skilled team, you will:

• Lead projects end‑to‑end: from due diligence and concept design through to construction delivery.
• Work closely with clients and senior leadership to shape technical direction and project outcomes.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians, supporting their development and contributing to a positive team culture.
• Bring innovative thinking to a wide range of infrastructure challenges.
• Contribute to UK and international projects including ports, harbours, jetties, quays, breakwaters, flood defences, and waterfront developments.

No two days are the same - one week you might be inspecting an ageing coastal asset, the next you could be helping shape the masterplan for a major overseas development.

What We’re Looking For

• Chartered or nearly chartered Civil/Structural Engineer with a relevant master’s degree.
• Strong experience in structural or infrastructure design.
• Confident project management and client‑facing skills.
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for mentoring others.
• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach with a flair for innovation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What You’ll Receive

Our client is committed to helping their people thrive - offering a supportive, sociable workplace with genuine career progression and a benefits package that reflects your expertise:
