• Producing and reviewing engineering calculations, drawings, and technical reports in line with relevant standards and Eurocodes.
• Contributing to multidisciplinary project teams delivering ports, harbour, and coastal defence schemes.
• Assisting with contract administration, technical queries, and construction-stage support.
• Undertaking site inspections and structural condition assessments where required.
• Supporting junior engineers and contributing to technical mentoring as experience allows.
• Working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.

• A degree (BEng or MEng) in Civil or Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience delivering civil or infrastructure projects, ideally with exposure to maritime, coastal, or heavy civil works.
• Strong grounding in civil and structural engineering principles and design to Eurocodes.
• Experience using industry-standard design and analysis software, alongside CAD tools.
• Good technical report writing and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Progression toward Chartered Engineer status (or already Chartered) would be advantageous.

What's in it for you?

In return, you'll receive a competitive package and the opportunity to work on technically challenging and nationally significant maritime projects, including:

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience and level.
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
• Exposure to a wide range of maritime, coastal, infrastructure, and regeneration projects.
