We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineering Lead to support the delivery of National Gas's Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD) project at Wormington Compressor Station in Gloucestershire.
The project involves the development of a new, low-emission 15MW gas turbine-driven compressor train on greenfield land adjacent to the existing compressor station. The scheme forms part of National Gas's wider requirements to ensure compliance with applicable emissions legislation ahead of the January 2030 MCPD deadline.
The Civil Engineering Lead will be responsible for providing technical leadership across the civil and structural engineering scope, supporting FEED development, design coordination, constructability reviews and EPC preparation ahead of the main construction phase.
