Description

Are you a Civil Engineer looking to take the next step in a role that blends technical problem-solving with meaningful, large-scale infrastructure impact?

We're supporting a major organisation responsible for managing and improving a large, highly regulated UK infrastructure environment. This is a unique chance to work across a diverse estate, combining historic structures with modern engineering systems — an environment you won't find anywhere else.

What's the role all about?

As a Civil Engineer, you'll join the Engineering, Assurance and Compliance team, supporting the technical governance and assurance of civil engineering activities across a large, complex site.

You'll contribute to safe operations, regulatory compliance, asset management and long-term infrastructure improvement. You'll also be supported by a team of highly skilled engineers who collaborate closely to solve problems and drive engineering excellence.

In this role, you will:

  • Assist in resolving complex technical problems within infrastructure projects
  • Review civil engineering design submissions to ensure alignment with design intent
  • Communicate proactively with engineering and project teams to identify issues and develop solutions
  • Contribute to improving technical competence within the team
  • Assess and present asset condition information to asset owners
  • Support updates to Asset Management Plans and strategic improvement programmes
  • Liaise with project stakeholders to support on-time project delivery

This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role where your technical input directly affects infrastructure performance and long-term planning.

  • Degree in Civil Engineering
  • 2+ years' experience in a civil engineering discipline
  • Experience working within a regulated or infrastructure environment
  • Understanding of statutory and regulatory civil engineering requirements

  • Working knowledge of relevant UK standards
  • Ability to analyse problems, communicate clearly and support multi-disciplinary teams

Desirable:

  • Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or working toward
  • Membership of a relevant technical institution
  • Health & Safety training (e.g. IOSH, SMSTS)
  • Eligibility for UK Security Clearance

Who you are

You're collaborative, analytical and confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels. You enjoy solving engineering challenges, presenting complex ideas simply and contributing to long-term infrastructure strategy. You take ownership of your work, thrive in a team environment and always look for opportunities to improve.

Why apply?

  • Work in one of the most unique infrastructure environments in the UK
  • Join a supportive and highly skilled engineering team
