Salary: £74000 - £92400 per annum, Benefits: Pension 12%, Hybrid (3 days office Birmingham)
I'm recruiting for a Senior Project Engineer to support delivery on a large, complex UK infrastructure programme. The role sits on the client side of delivery and is closest aligned to what would traditionally be described as a "Resident Engineer" position.
This is a delivery and assurance role rather than a design post. The focus is on ensuring that what is being built on site is compliant, coordinated, and technically sound, working alongside contractors in a live construction environment. The scale is significant: major heavy civils packages, large structures, multiple interfaces, and high levels of governance and assurance required to keep delivery moving safely and correctly.
ResponsibilitiesYou will form part of a wider engineering function embedded within delivery teams. Your role is to provide engineering oversight, challenge and assurance across design and construction, intervening where risk, non-compliance or poor coordination is identified.
Approximately 60-70% of your time will support the NEC Supervisor function, including:
The remaining time will focus on broader engineering assurance, interface management and technical support to the delivery team.
Technical focusThe engineering emphasis is weighted as follows:
Experience with viaducts, large reinforced concrete works, or steel-framed buildings (stations, depots, large-span structures) would be particularly relevant.
Background and experienceThis role is well suited to engineers who come from a delivery-led background. Experience may come from rail or highways environments, where similar standards, assurance regimes and contractual controls apply.
Key is not where you learned to design, but where you have:
Highways experience is entirely valid, as the standards, governance and delivery challenges are comparable.
What mattersHybrid working is available and you will be part of an established team with clear technical governance
