A Senior Civil Design engineer is now required to be technically responsible for the design of engineering projects in either the Gas and Oil Sector or the Water Sector with a turnover of between £20 and £50 million per year. You would manage and supervise civil engineering consultants plus some internal CAD personnel. Typically work carried out by consultants would total in the order of 2,000 man hours per year but requiring significant supervision and review. Included is the provision of technical engineering advice at some or all of the following phases of projects or schemes: pre-tender, pre-construction, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
Successful candidates will require at least some of the following technical skills:
a thorough understanding of safety regulations and responsibilities together with methods to control and reduce safety related risks; understand and apply the principles of associated with the results of geotechnical reports.; understand the requirements of site selection and preparation including slopes and cut and fill to prepare for foundations and structures for pipework installations; understand the requirements associated with cross country pipelines and in particular with temporary and permanent works associated with road, railway and river crossings.; understand and apply the principles of associated with temporary and permanent drainage; understand and apply the principles associated with underground services; understand and apply the principles of foundation and structural design including both vertical and horizontal loading. This must include seismic, wind loading and subsidence. Ideally you will understand the properties of civil engineering materials including limitations, alternatives, reasons for selection, the effects of their interaction and the appropriate tests that can be carried out to ensure specification compliance. You will also need to be able to use standard computer software packages.

Your responsibilities will include implementing engineering designs in compliance with Health & Safety Legislation. You will receive, interpret and implement the requirements of supervising design manager and be actively involved in the interpretation and development of both the Clients and the M&E engineers design requirements for both the bid process and during the contract stage. You will ensure that project and company quality procedures together with business management systems are implemented at all times and that all relevant documentation is produced in compliance with legislation, codes and standards and client requirements. You will also ensure that design documents produced in-house are technically correct clear / understandable and distributed to all relevant parties to suit programme requirements. You will apply engineering principles in the preparation of calculations, specifications, reports, schedules, drawings/sketches and resolution of engineering challenges within specialist area of knowledge. You will also ensure preparation of design Health and Safety documentation and provide relevant technical information when required for the delivery of design and/or construction. Furthermore you will carry out, check and, where authorised approve, calculations, specifications, reports, schedules, drawings/sketches and other documentation. You will technically review designs produced by specialist consultants, for correctness, compliance with all standards, completeness and buildability and instigate changes and improvements using relevant document control procedures.
Your role will also involve assisting in coordination of inter-disciplinary design interfaces between all sections of a project and communicate technical issues between project management, designers, consultants, and other functions/support services within the project team. You will identify and resolve non conformances at an early stage and assist with the preparation of project environmental procedures and ensure that systems are implemented to satisfy contractual and statutory requirements, liaising with third parties, such as the Environmental Agency, where necessary. You will input technically when required into services, products and subcontractors and provide specifications, bid evaluations and assistance to the procurement system to ensure the timely and efficient requisition of materials and specialist consultants and contractors. You will also help to ensure that progress measurement and reporting are maintained and that you effectively deploy, monitor, supervise and guide less experienced engineering staff in support of all the above. You will ensure career development and training for those reporting to this position.
