Senior Engineer – Major Infrastructure Project - Britain’s Ocean City

Serious project. Serious responsibility.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to take ownership of a major section of works on a flagship civil engineering scheme in Britain’s Ocean City. This isn’t a role where you’ll be buried in paperwork or stuck in the background. You’ll be right at the heart of delivery — leading engineers, driving progress and solving technical challenges on a nationally significant infrastructure project.

If you’re the kind of engineer who enjoys running your own section and being trusted to get on with it, this is the sort of project that builds reputations.

The Contractor

Our client is a highly respected civil engineering contractor delivering complex projects across the marine, infrastructure, water and energy sectors.
They’re trusted by major public and private sector clients to deliver technically demanding schemes — and they consistently win repeat work because they deliver properly.

Standards are high and expectations are clear

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take responsibility for one of the major work packages on the project, leading engineering delivery and supporting the wider site team.

Expect to be involved in:
 
Leading engineering delivery across your section of works
Managing and mentoring site engineers
Coordinating specialist subcontractors
Attending client and progress meetings
Driving programme, safety and quality performance
Preparing and reviewing RAMS
Working closely with the commercial team on progress and reporting
Solving technical challenges on complex reinforced concrete works  This is a hands-on engineering leadership role where you’ll be expected to take ownership.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll likely already be operating as a Senior Engineer or strong Section Engineer on major civil engineering projects.

You’ll bring:
 
5+ years’ experience delivering large civil engineering works
Strong background in reinforced concrete structures
Experience managing engineers and subcontractors on site
Confidence working in technically demanding environments
Strong communication and leadership skills
HNC / HND or equivalent engineering qualification
Ability to obtain SC Security Clearance  Experience on marine, infrastructure or highly regulated projects would be advantageous.

Why This Role?

Because this is the kind of project engineers remember.

You’ll get:
 
Long-term stability on a major infrastructure scheme
Real responsibility and visibility within the delivery team
Exposure to technically complex works
A contractor with a strong forward workload  If you want a project you can genuinely hang your hat on, this is one worth speaking about.
