The Principal Civil Engineer will support the planning, coordination, and delivery of the off‑site Associated Development (AD) infrastructure required for the Project. You will be part of the Project Client Technical Team, reporting to the Associated Development Lead, and will work within a multi‑disciplinary environment during a fast‑paced and evolving programme.

Principal Accountabilities

• Define and develop the civil engineering requirements for all Associated Development (AD) facilities, ensuring alignment with project objectives, regulatory needs, and client specifications.
• Lead and coordinate early site assessment activities, including geotechnical, hydrological, environmental, and access‑related considerations to inform concept and outline design.
• Oversee development of civil layouts and infrastructure concepts for AD facilities such as the Park & Ride, Logistics Centre/Lorry Park, Workers’ Accommodation Campus, fabrication centre, Marine Offloading Facility (MOLF), and Transfer Node Facility.
• Maintain ownership of civil engineering inputs to AD scope, requirements, interfaces, and design changes, ensuring design intent is preserved and deviations are managed through due process.
• Provide technical oversight and assurance of deliverables prepared by Foundation Engineer, the Technology Provider, and the Owner’s Engineer, ensuring compliance with standards, regulations, and GBE‑N requirements.
• Coordinate with planning, environmental, regulatory and consenting teams to support submissions, assessments, and approvals relevant to AD civil works.
• Engage with local authorities, transport bodies, and other stakeholders to confirm interfaces, constraints, and technical dependencies.
• Contribute to risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and schedule and cost inputs related to civil elements of the AD programme.
• Support the development of digital models (e.g., BIM) and maintain clear records of engineering decisions, assumptions, and design evolution for AD facilities.
• Provide expert civil engineering advice to resolve technical issues, manage interfaces with other engineering disciplines, and support integration of AD works with the main site programme.
