The role

Overview

Shape the future of our ports and maritime environment. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Principal Civil Maritime Engineer to join our Ports and Maritime capability. You will be part of a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team delivering innovative and technically challenging maritime engineering solutions across the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of maritime infrastructure – from early feasibility and optioneering through to detailed design and construction support. We operate across a diverse portfolio of projects, supporting clients in a range of operational, environmental, and regulatory contexts.

This Includes

  • Planning, design, and delivery of port, harbour, and maritime infrastructure across a range of scales and project stages.
  • Structural design of maritime assets, including quay walls, jetties, berths and coastal infrastructure.
  • Assessment and engineering appraisal to inform maintenance, upgrade, and future use of existing infrastructure.
  • Supporting clients in developing asset strategies, capacity improvements, and long‑term investment planning.

Your role

Coordinate or manage a team of engineers in the delivery of technical design work on complex multi‑disciplinary maritime engineering projects following relevant national and project‑specific design codes and standards, and to high‑quality levels. Produce and review technical deliverables such as design reports, drawings, calculations, and scopes of work. Provide technical input into project design deliverables for maritime aspects of complex multi‑disciplinary projects and work with the project management team to manage time and budgets to key project milestones and programmes. Collaborate with client, operational, project, or service activities within your immediate team and other related teams. Provide mentorship to less experienced colleagues and help grow our Ports and Maritime capability within the local team and nationally. Work independently with minimal technical guidance and exercise personal judgement to solve difficult problems where appropriate and provide guidance to junior team members. Provide technical support for bid proposals. Work closely with a multi‑disciplinary team in the UK and overseas to deliver integrated design solutions. Adhere to quality assurance standards in design including checking and reviewing own work as well as others.

About you

  • A degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
  • Chartered Civil Engineer.
  • Proven experience in coordinating or managing an engineering design delivery team for a design consultancy including within a multi‑disciplinary environment.
  • Takes broad perspective to identify innovative solutions to design problems.
  • Strong knowledge and practical experience in design such as berthing structures, dolphins, quay walls, port infrastructure and construction logistics.
  • Practical knowledge of current design codes and standards as well as industry best practices, including CDM Regulations.
  • Proficiency in applicable analytical software and related tools such as FEA and mooring analysis.
  • Demonstrates strong communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly and effectively within diverse multi‑disciplinary teams.
  • A proactive, highly motivated mindset with a collaborative approach to drive teamwork and shared success across projects.
