Job description

ABMI Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom

ABMI Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom

We promise more than a job—we offer a career you can build.

1 – Who We Are

We’re the UK branch of ABMI, a French engineering consulting group with over 35 years of experience delivering high-level expertise in critical industries like nuclear energy, aerospace, and transportation. We don’t do everything—we specialize. And that makes all the difference.

ABMI is known for its deep technical knowledge and ability to adapt its skills to new sectors. Our strength lies in choosing focus over breadth. In the UK, we’re applying our nuclear expertise to projects with EDF, a long-standing client we’ve supported for years in France. That trust opened the door for us to expand—and now, we’re writing the UK chapter of this story.

We’re not here to fill seats. We’re here to deliver tailored engineering solutions that drive results. That’s the consulting mindset: we align with our partners’ challenges, and we bring the right people, the right tools, and the right strategy to move things forward.

As we grow, we remain anchored in our core values: expertise, integrity, and care for people—because our consultants are at the heart of everything we do.

2 – What You’ll Do

About the Role

As a Structural Engineer, you will play a key role in coordinating, reviewing, and ensuring the quality of civil and structural deliverables, working closely with design partners and internal stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

• Carrying out and coordinating review and acceptance of deliverables in their scope of activity.
• Producing building-specific documents such as handover reports or hypothesis notes.
• Responsible for raising, and following up on building specific technical open points as a first point of contact for the L3 civil designer.
• Supporting the civil building lead and contract engineering lead in coordination with civil designer and other stakeholders for producing the design.
• Coordinating and carrying out the resolution of building specific technical topics and tracking the evolution of these activities in their scope of activity.
• Supporting the contract engineering lead for the preparation of progress reports for the Client Project Manager and alerts of any technical risks to program.
• Supporting the contract engineering lead for reviewing technical proposals for variations.

3 – Why Join Us?

At ABMI UK, we combine the strength of a well-established European engineering group with the agility of a human-sized team. Based in Bristol and still growing, we offer you the opportunity to be part of something meaningful from the ground up.

Here, you’ll join a consulting company, not a recruitment agency — a place where your expertise truly matters, and where your voice helps shape our future. We’re engineers working with engineers, and we understand what matters most to you:

• Gaining real technical experience on large-scale, high-impact projects
• Working in a supportive environment that values learning, collaboration, and curiosity
• Access to clear, structured career paths, with opportunities to grow into leadership or technical expert roles
• Personalized support and mentoring to help you develop your skills, expand your knowledge, and reach your professional goals
