Are you ready to advance your engineering career and take on complex, meaningful work? We're looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Civil & Structural Engineer to join our growing Energy business.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to some of the UK's most innovative energy and infrastructure projects - from next-generation nuclear and renewable developments to advanced industrial facilities supporting the UK's Net Zero ambitions.
You'll join a collaborative team of skilled professionals tackling challenging engineering problems with creativity, integrity, and technical excellence. Our work is diverse, impactful, and purpose-driven - offering you the chance to build your expertise, develop your leadership skills, and help deliver sustainable solutions for the future.
What You'll Be Doing

• As a Senior Civil & Structural Engineer, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality engineering solutions across a range of nuclear, renewable, and energy infrastructure projects. You'll contribute throughout the full project lifecycle - from feasibility and concept design through detailed engineering, construction support, and delivery.
• Working closely with Principal Engineers, Engineering Managers, and project teams, you'll ensure that designs are safe, compliant, and cost-effective while meeting client requirements and industry standards.

Key responsibilities include

• Leading and supporting the development of civil and structural designs across multiple project stages
• Preparing and verifying design documentation, specifications, and calculations for safety-critical systems
• Producing safety-related deliverables such as Safety Functional Requirements (SFRs), Structural Design Method Statements (SDMSs), and Design Substantiation Reports (DSRs)
• Undertaking and reviewing finite element modelling and structural analysis using advanced engineering tools
• Developing Interpretive Reports, Basis of Design documents, CDM documentation, and technical reports
• Providing technical oversight, checking, and mentoring of junior engineers and design staff
• Ensuring designs comply with regulatory, safety, and quality standards, particularly within nuclear and high-hazard environments
• Interfacing with clients, regulators, and stakeholders to address technical queries and progress project delivery
• Supporting planning, estimation, and risk management activities across projects
• Promoting innovation, digital tools, and continuous improvement in engineering processes

About You

We're looking for someone who brings both strong technical expertise and excellent communication skills. You'll be a proactive, solutions-focused engineer who enjoys working in multidisciplinary environments and mentoring others to achieve high performance.

Essential skills and experience:

• Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline (BEng, MEng, BSc, MSc)
• Chartered or near-Chartered Engineer status (we'll support you to achieve full registration)
• Solid background in civil and structural design within the nuclear, energy, or other highly regulated sectors
• Good understanding of nuclear plant systems, structures, and components (or transferable experience from similar environments)
• Strong knowledge of engineering principles, design tools, and standards such as ACI, ASCE, and AISC
• Experience using finite element analysis software and performing design validation and verification
• Knowledge of health and safety legislation, CDM regulations, and best design practices
• Familiarity with working in a BIM environment and digital engineering workflows
• Strong organisational, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with attention to technical accuracy

Desirable:

• Experience with UK Nuclear Licensing and the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process
• Familiarity with small or advanced modular reactor technologies
• Experience leading small teams or acting as a checker for technical deliverables
