Build Your Career Where Engineering Meets Scotland’s Coastline
At Wallace Stone, we have been delivering award-winning civil engineering solutions since 1973, specialising in marine infrastructure, coastal engineering and bridges across Scotland. We work on projects ranging from harbours, piers, ferry terminals and marinas to coastal protection schemes, bridges and other critical infrastructure for both public and private sector clients.

Your new role
You’ll join a highly experienced and established team delivering world class and award winning maritime and coastal infrastructure. Our clients range from small community ventures, local authorities, private developers and large commercial port operators.
As an engineer at Wallace Stone, you will support the design and analysis if civil and structural works in the marine and coastal environment. Typical projects include the development, rehabilitation, and protection of port and harbour structures such as quay walls, jetties, piers, revetments, breakwaters, dolphins, fendering systems, linkspan supports, and scour protection.
