I’m currently leading a search for a Principal Civil/Structural Engineer to join the technical team at a leading clean technology integrator and renewable asset developer, based out of their London office on a hybrid basis (3 days in-office, 2 days remote). The business is experiencing significant growth and needs a senior civil/structural authority to serve as the main point of contact for large-scale electrical infrastructure projects—with a heavy emphasis on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Solar PV, and commercial decarbonisation schemes. This is a brilliant balance of hands-on design leadership, constructability assessment, and subcontractor management. You will have a direct hand in shaping the engineering delivery of a massive UK utility-scale pipeline.

The Essentials:

  • Experience: 5+ years of industry experience, with a strong preference for those who have delivered civil/structural elements of BESS or substation projects.
  • Qualifications: Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, ideally Chartered or actively working towards it.
  • Location: London / Hybrid (3 days in-office).
  • Package: £50,000 – £70,000 (dependent on experience) + private healthcare + profit-based bonus scheme.

If you are passionate about the energy transition and looking for a role where you can truly own the civil engineering scope of major clean-tech assets, please don't hesitate to contact me with your updated CV and your contact number. Alternatively, if this isn't the right fit for you but you have a friend or colleague who might be interested, I'd really appreciate you putting me in touch with them.

Many thanks, Joe
