Project: Major Heavy Civil Engineering - Nuclear & Defence Infrastructure
We are seeking an experienced Structural Engineer to join a major infrastructure programme supporting the upgrade of an existing dry dock at a high-profile nuclear and defence site in Plymouth. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of a complex heavy civil engineering project. We are looking for a technically strong engineer who enjoys carrying out the engineering work rather than focusing primarily on project management or team supervision.

- Work collaboratively with the BIM team to develop, review and coordinate engineering drawings and models.
- Review reinforced concrete (RC) intent and modelling, applying a strong understanding of reinforcement detailing.
- Interrogate and review BIM models using software such as Navisworks and Solibri.
- Prepare high-quality technical documentation, including Technical Notes, Specifications and supporting engineering reports.
- Develop and deliver technical presentations to support engineering workshops and design reviews.
- Contribute to the production of works information and design deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.
- Ensure engineering outputs meet the required technical, quality and safety standards.
Essential Requirements
- Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
- Chartered Engineer (MICE or MIStructE).
- Experience operating at Principal Engineer or Associate level.
- Approximately 5-10+ years experience in structural or heavy civil engineering design.
- Proven experience producing structural calculations and technical engineering documentation.
- Strong understanding of reinforced concrete design and detailing.
- Experience working within a BIM environment, including Navisworks and/or Solibri.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary design team.
