Description
Temporary Works Principal Design Engineer
Leeds
Salary up to £70k plus Car/Allowance
Established over 40 years ago, my client has evolved into the largest and leading subcontractor for tunnelling in the United Kingdom and have also expanded their operations internationally, particularly in the Middle East. Their construction capabilities range from traditional hand tunnelling techniques to innovative methods employed in large-scale projects like Crossrail and Thames Tideway. In addition to underground construction, they have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality above ground structures for residential developments, specialising in low to high rise concrete frames.
Due to an increase in workload, they are looking to add a Principal Design Engineer to their busy Leeds office.
As a Principal Engineer, you will:
1. Lead, manage, develop and mentor the team of Engineers and Technicians.
2. Manage the deliverables of the team to tight programme deadlines and appropriate standards.
3. Ensure designs are produced to industry standards and codes and are checked and approved in line with company quality procedures.
4. Apply Temporary Works design principles in accordance with relevant standards.
5. Produce design solutions in timber, steel, reinforced concrete and proprietary structural systems.
6. Have experience in shaft design, including buoyant stability, jacking collars, and reinforced concrete bases.
7. Understand tunnel designs for Timber Headings, Microtunnelling/Pipejacking, thrust walls, and more.
8. Liaise with clients and project construction teams to understand requirements.
9. Coordinate external consultants and third-party checkers.
10. Produce reports and communications for clients, including items for statutory authorities' design approvals.
11. Lead NR and HE design approval process.
12. Contribute to business development activity and aid tender bids when required.
Possessing a minimum of 10 years' experience in designing underground structures and tunnelling Temporary Works and experience of working in a UK design consultancy environment, you will have strong team leadership capabilities, supporting, mentoring and developing junior engineers. You will have a proven high level of technical skill and competence in structural design and a sound geotechnical grounding. Experience of undertaking the Network Rail CRE role as well as the equivalent responsible engineering role for Highways schemes is beneficial, as is a sound understanding of the CDM Health & Safety legislation and specifically Designer responsibility.
An MSc in Civil and Structural Engineering is preferable, Geotechnical and Mining degree backgrounds would also be considered and you will have Chartered status or be working towards it with a recognised institution, such as the ICE.
A full UK driving licence is required.
