About the Role
Our Structures Design Teams are looking for highly motivated and technically strong Structural or Bridge Engineers to be involved in the delivery of challenging bridge design and maintenance schemes.
As part of a friendly and supportive team, you will work on projects such as the design of a new integral two‑span continuous steel composite deck bridge on a £26M bypass route, a £5.5M bridge replacement scheme in New Forest, and a £25M refurbishment of four major structures spanning the River Test and Network Rail tracks.
Future work will include multi‑million railway footbridge replacement and strengthening of a 27‑span concrete bridge, along with small replacement and strengthening schemes. We also provide technical support to external clients, developers, contractors, and other local authorities.
