Senior Engineer – Major Infrastructure Project - Britain’s Ocean City

Serious project. Serious responsibility.

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to take ownership of a major section of works on a flagship civil engineering scheme in Britain’s Ocean City. This isn’t a role where you’ll be buried in paperwork or stuck in the background. You’ll be right at the heart of delivery — leading engineers, driving progress and solving technical challenges on a nationally significant infrastructure project.

If you’re the kind of engineer who enjoys running your own section and being trusted to get on with it, this is the sort of project that builds reputations.

The Contractor


Our client is a highly respected civil engineering contractor delivering complex projects across the marine, infrastructure, water and energy sectors.
They’re trusted by major public and private sector clients to deliver technically demanding schemes — and they consistently win repeat work because they deliver properly.

Standards are high and expectations are clear

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take responsibility for one of the major work packages on the project, leading engineering delivery and supporting the wider site team.

Expect to be involved in:

  • Leading engineering delivery across your section of works
  • Managing and mentoring site engineers
  • Coordinating specialist subcontractors
  • Attending client and progress meetings
  • Driving programme, safety and quality performance
  • Preparing and reviewing RAMS
  • Working closely with the commercial team on progress and reporting
  • Solving technical challenges on complex reinforced concrete works
This is a hands-on engineering leadership role where you’ll be expected to take ownership.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll likely already be operating as a Senior Engineer or strong Section Engineer on major civil engineering projects.

You’ll bring:
  • 5+ years’ experience delivering large civil engineering works
  • Strong background in reinforced concrete structures
  • Experience managing engineers and subcontractors on site
  • Confidence working in technically demanding environments
  • Strong communication and leadership skills
  • HNC / HND or equivalent engineering qualification
  • Ability to obtain SC Security Clearance
Experience on marine, infrastructure or highly regulated projects would be advantageous.

Why This Role?

Because this is the kind of project engineers remember.

You’ll get:
  • Long-term stability on a major infrastructure scheme
  • Real responsibility and visibility within the delivery team
  • Exposure to technically complex works
  • A contractor with a strong forward workload
If you want a project you can genuinely hang your hat on, this is one worth speaking about.

Apply now or get in touch to discuss the project in confidence.
