A key part of this role will be helping to develop and deliver the Bristol I&IF growth strategy.

Working closely with the Bristol I&IF leadership team and our Growth & Business Development colleagues, you will:

• Help identify sectors, clients, and opportunities where Ramboll’s expertise can add value.
• Contribute to the development of our local market and client strategy.
• Build and maintain relationships with existing and prospective clients.
• Help develop and pursue opportunities, from early conversations through to bids and appointments.
• Work with colleagues across Ramboll to identify opportunities to bring together our wider multidisciplinary expertise.
• Play a key role in turning the Bristol I&IF growth strategy into action and helping to build a sustainable pipeline of work.

We are looking for someone who is curious about clients and their challenges, enjoys building relationships, and wants to play an active role in shaping the future of the team.

What We’re Looking For

For this role, we believe your starting point is:

• Chartered with the IStructE, ICE, or an international equivalent.
• Significant experience as a structural engineer, with a strong track record of delivering technically challenging projects.
• A high level of technical competence and sound engineering judgment across steel, concrete, and/or timber.
• Experience taking technical responsibility for projects and providing guidance to other engineers.
• The ability to work independently on complex or specialized engineering problems, with limited oversight.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex engineering principles clearly to clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders.
• The ability to develop strong and lasting relationships with clients and collaborators.
• A collaborative approach and a willingness to coach and support others.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in understanding clients’ needs and identifying opportunities.
• A passion for finding better, more efficient, and more sustainable ways of solving engineering problems.

Experience in rail, aviation, energy, manufacturing, data centers, or other critical infrastructure is essential, but we don’t expect you to have experience across all of these areas. We are interested in strong engineers who are excited by the opportunity to apply their skills to new and varied challenges.

Your Opportunity to Make a Difference

This is an opportunity to join a team that is growing and have a genuine influence on what it becomes.

You’ll have the support of experienced technical specialists across Bristol, the wider UK I&IF team, and Ramboll’s international network, while having the autonomy to lead projects, develop client relationships, support colleagues, and contribute to the growth strategy for the Bristol business.

If you’re looking for an Associate role where you can combine great engineering with leadership, client relationships, and business growth – while remaining part of a close-knit regional team – we’d love to hear from you.
