As Lead Civil & Structural Engineer, you will manage and deliver all civil and structural engineering activities across assigned projects - covering tender, concept, FEED, detailed design, and construction support. You’ll lead from the front on technical delivery, ensuring designs meet performance, safety, quality, and commercial targets. You'll act as a technical authority, mentor to junior engineers, and client-facing expert - ensuring stakeholder confidence in all deliverables. As part of a highly experienced multi-discipline design team, you’ll work closely with process, mechanical, EC&I, and piping engineers, ensuring fully integrated solutions. Beyond the design, you’ll collaborate directly with EFAB’s in-house fabrication and construction teams, giving you real visibility of how designs transition from concept to reality. This connection between engineering and execution provides invaluable feedback, rapid problem-solving, and a genuine opportunity to see your work make a tangible impact on site.
