About this contract

Join our Major Infrastructure Projects team and play a key role in delivering major infrastructure that supports the UK’s ship and submarine sustainment programmes at Devonport.

As the Design Implementation Engineer, you’ll bridge the gap between approved design and implementation, working closely with Responsible Designers, delivery teams, contractors, users and other stakeholders. Using your Civil or Structural Engineering expertise, you’ll help ensure facilities are delivered safely, effectively and in line with technical, operational and nuclear safety requirements.

You’ll provide engineering support throughout the implementation of the Water Retaining Boundary (WRB) and associated Demolition and Trials activities. Key responsibilities will include coordinating Designer Site Representative activities, responding to site queries, reviewing technical queries and changes, and ensuring construction activities comply with approved designs and specifications.

You’ll also review inspection and test documentation, construction reports, risk assessments, method statements, temporary works designs and material approvals. You’ll support the management of non-conformances and undertake targeted site surveillance to provide assurance that the works meet the required standards.

About you

We’re looking for an experienced Civil or Structural Engineer with a degree in an appropriate engineering discipline and experience of major infrastructure delivery.

You’ll ideally have:

Experience designing and substantiating heavy civil engineering or building structures, particularly to seismic codes and nuclear safety requirements.
Experience of construction techniques for nuclear safety-related structures and buildings.
Experience working on major infrastructure projects within a nuclear-licensed environment.
Experience of dock structures would be highly desirable
