The Opportunity
We have a permanent Assistant Structures / bridge Engineer role to join our Consulting Highways team. With shared office space in Bristol and Exeter, we welcome applications from Assistant Engineers across these regions. The role will primarily involve working on the South West Scheme Delivery Framework for National Highways, with opportunities to work on complex schemes across the UK. As a team, we co-locate with our client at offices in Exeter and Bristol, attending the office three days a week with the remaining days worked remotely. The work spans feasibility and optioneering through to design and construction. We work across the National Highways network in the South West, including large and unique viaducts, culverts, under and overbridges of varying forms, ages and complexities. You could be designing a strengthening scheme, completing maintenance refurbishments, or executing safety improvements. The variety of scopes and structures on the network means that no two projects are the same. This opportunity would suit a developing Engineer working towards Chartership, with an understanding of the DMRB and Eurocodes with respect to highway bridge design, strengthening, refurbishment and assessment. You would be part of a team of around 25 engineers locally of varying levels, supported by 350+ Structures Engineers across the UK with a variety of specialisms.
