Do you have a passion for the coast and want to make a real difference to how it is managed? We have an exciting opportunity for a Coastal Engineer to join our Coastal Service, supporting the delivery of the Council’s Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) services across a varied and challenging coastline. You’ll help plan, design, procure and supervise our coastal engineering maintenance programme, working closely with our in-house Engineering Works team, while also contributing to major coastal projects and providing technical support across the wider Coastal Service. Would you like a role that takes you out and about across the stunning and varied coastline of the New Forest District? Across 60 km of the New Forest coastline, we manage a diverse range of coastal defences, including rock and timber structures, seawalls, cliffs, and the dynamic barrier beach at Hurst Spit. In this role, you’ll be integral to both our day-to-day maintenance and monitoring operations and our long-term coastal defence projects.
