Principal Temporary Works Engineer - #2197312

Lead temporary works design for a Tier 1 contractor’s in-house technical team

Locations (hybrid working): Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Plymouth

You’ve designed and checked various temporary works applications, and you’re ready to run a team’s workload as well as your own.

This role sits in the in-house design business of a Tier 1 contractor. You’ll take technical ownership of temporary works design across a diverse portfolio of infrastructure and building projects, leading engineers and working closely with project and tender teams. There are offices across the UK, hybrid working and clear progression.

You’ll lead temporary works design and checking above and below ground, aligned with permanent works. You’ll organise the day-to-day workload of engineers and technical staff, and oversee their calculations, drawings, reports and design risk assessments. At tender stage you’ll provide feasibility studies, outline schemes and value engineering, and on live jobs you’ll review third-party designs and help resolve technical and construction issues.

If you want to lead engineers and be the face of the team, this gives you both. You’ll line manage engineers, carrying out inductions and performance reviews, and represent the team at client and project meetings.

You’ll need to be chartered with seven years’ relevant industry experience, or have twelve years’ relevant experience, along with a record of developing engineers.
