Job Description

AECOM is currently recruiting for a Principal Structural Engineer to join our UK & Ireland Building Engineering team. This technical practice comprises over 1000 engineering professionals across 28 office locations drawn from a variety of disciplines in the built environment. Within the structural engineering practice there are over 170 engineers across the UK. This opportunity has arisen in our South West & Wales (SW&W) business which has teams in our Basingstoke, Bristol and Plymouth offices and a focus on Defence, Aviation and Education.

We undertake a range of projects including those which feature seismic, impact, and other dynamic loads. The right candidate will need to demonstrate a desire to be challenged, an ability to analyse complex structural engineering problems and undertake the technical delivery of projects. In return we offer a challenging and rewarding role, career development, a positive working environment and a competitive reward package.

Our work regularly uses cutting edge software and advanced analytical approaches. This opportunity would suit an individual who has a wide range of experience in structural analysis techniques such as Finite Element, Soil Structure Interaction or non-linear dynamics and who is looking to obtain wider ranging experience. The right candidate will be experienced in the preparation of technical reports and other documentation within complex and demanding project delivery.

The role requires hands on development of analytical models that support engineering design and leadership of others doing the same. Whilst you will principally be associated with substantiating solutions for our client’s problems, an ability to represent AECOM in a client facing environment is also required. You need to be comfortable with explaining the approaches adopted and results derived to a wide range of audiences.

An ability to manage projects, resources and commercial aspects of projects is also required.

Some of the recent projects we have completed include:

• HMNB Devonport:
  Supporting the development of infrastructure at HMNB Devonport, the team have been involved in the design of seismically qualified upgrade works to existing dry docks required to support deep maintenance of nuclear powered submarines.
• Heathrow T2 Baggage Programme: A £635M scheme to replace the time expired baggage system. The programme maintains the existing system until the new system is commissioned and enables the creation and adaptation of the structures to install the new 1800 bag/hour solution.
• Livingstone Academy, Bournemouth:
  Civil and structural engineering services for the design of a £30m academy school in Bournemouth. The project involves the refurbishment and conversion of existing Grade II listed buildings as well as construction of a new 5 storey teaching block.

We are increasingly supporting new and exciting projects across these markets, in the UK and globally. In particular relating to delivery of nuclear infrastructure in support of the AUKUS programme. A willingness to apply for appropriate security clearances to support such work is essential.
