Civil Engineer
Sector: Nuclear New Build / Heavy Civil Engineering & Structural Design
Location: Bristol (Hybrid: 3 days per week office/site-based)
Position Type: Full-Time, Permanent
The Opportunity:
We are partnering with a premier Tier 1 engineering and technical services consultancy to recruit an experienced Civil Engineer. Operating within an expanding major infrastructure and clean energy division, this role provides technical governance, engineering oversight, and delivery assurance for complex civil detailing work packages across their complete lifecycle.
This position bridges the gap between client requirements, multi-disciplinary design teams, and tier 1 detailing contractors. It is an exceptional opportunity for a technically grounded Civil Engineer to lead high-value infrastructure packages, ensuring stringent compliance and structural integrity on a landmark UK energy development.
Main Responsibilities:
- Technical Ownership: Provide authoritative technical advice and engineering support for a dedicated civil detailing contract package across the full design and construction lifecycle.
- Oversight & Assurance: Lead the technical review, verification, and engineering approval of all master detailer deliverables and structural drawings.
- Compliance & Standards: Ensure all civil and structural designs comply fully with UK standards, project-specific replication principles, and strict corporate governance.
- Lifecycle Contract Management: Manage both the pre-contract phases (including tendering, scope of works creation, and requirements definition) and post-contract detailed design execution loops.
- Team Coordination: Coordinate multi-disciplinary team members, aligning technical requirements, managing deliverable reviews, and ensuring personnel competency alignment.
- Interface Management: Act as the primary technical interface between client entities, internal project management, and external supply chain stakeholders.
- Risk & Configuration Control: Proactively manage engineering design risks, implement robust configuration control, and mitigate master programme deviations.
- Technical Leadership: Chair high-level technical meetings, design workshops, and progress reporting activities to drive delivery momentum.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Technical Leadership: Proven track record of technical leadership, squad checking, and team coordination within a complex civil engineering environment.
- Design Process Mastery: Deep, practical understanding of heavy civil engineering design processes, concrete/steel detailing, and construction methodologies.
- Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with a consultative style, capable of managing complex interfaces and resolving technical issues or design conflicts between competing parties.
- High-Compliance Frameworks: Strong working knowledge of configuration management, quality assurance, and standardised design replication methodologies (Nuclear sector standards experience is highly desirable, but heavy industrial, power generation, or major defense infrastructure backgrounds are highly transferable).
Qualifications: Relevant higher qualification (Degree, HNC/HND, or equivalent vocational training) in Civil or Structural Engineering, backed by extensive hands-on detailing and design assurance experience.
