Descriptif du poste

This role is offered by Crouch Waterfall, a subsidiary of Vulcain Engineering Group.

Due to continued business growth, we are seeking a Principal Civil & Structural Engineer to join our multi-disciplinary team based in Basingstoke.

Reporting to the Associate Director, you will lead the technical delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects, ranging from smaller schemes through to projects valued up to £20m. These include work across rail, bridges, and temporary works design, among other civil structures.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the technical delivery of complex civil & structural projects, including bridges, structural steel, reinforced concrete, and temporary works.
Provide leadership and direction to a team of Engineers and Technicians, supporting their development through mentoring, coaching, and technical guidance.
Act as a technical reviewer, checking and approving designs, calculations, and analysis produced by others.
Undertake structural assessments, site inspections, and surveys, producing clear and concise technical reports.
Plan and manage project delivery, including programmes, resource allocation, and coordination with senior leadership.
Support commercial aspects of projects, including forecasting, invoicing, and fee management.
Engage with clients to define project scope, manage expectations, and ensure successful delivery of outputs.
Contribute to the preparation of tenders and fee proposals.
Support business growth by developing client relationships and identifying new opportunities.

Profil recherché

A Chartered Engineer, with a strong track record in leading the technical delivery for the design of large-scale structures – ideally across bridges, structural steel, and reinforced concrete.
Technical expertise across assessment, inspection, analysis of existing structures, and new-build design.
Proficient in structural engineering software such as Tedds, Robot, and/or Midas.
Prior exposure to rail projects is beneficial, but not essential – we encourage applications from engineers from other sectors.
Experience in bridge design and/or temporary works is advantageous; candidates with broader structural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Ideally, exposure to Contractor Engineering Manager (CEM) responsibilities across design, although this is not essential.
Confident in client-facing environments, with strong communication and interpersonal skills.
