Overview: We’ve partnered with an exciting start-up developing self-healing concrete technologies. Their mission is to create innovative materials that can automatically repair cracks or damage, extending the lifespan of infrastructure and significantly reducing maintenance costs across a myriad of sectors. Following recent funding, they’re now hiring a Senior Project Engineer to support the design, testing, and implementation of sustainable precast concrete elements, with additional involvement in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. What You’ll Do: Collaborate with the design team on precast element development and production Liaise with detailing companies and precast manufacturers Design and manufacture vascular networks using CAD Conduct laboratory testing on precast elements and analyse performance Coordinate on-site testing and implementation (e.g. retaining walls) Design and carry out structural experiments for testing concrete elements Assist in life cycle assessment studies with external partners Prepare clear, structured reports on experiments, results, and project progress Travel to manufacturing sites and field locations as required What You’ll Bring: Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field 5 years in civil engineering or a related construction engineering role Experience in site operations or precast/RC frame projects Strong proficiency in CAD software and 3D modelling Experience with material testing and structural performance analysis Nice to Have (Not Essential): Experience in sustainable construction or circular materials Knowledge of LCA methodologies and carbon footprinting Familiarity with 3D printing in construction or materials research What’s on Offer: This is a fantastic opportunity to move away from large corporate structures and join a hands-on, innovation-driven environment where your ideas and contributions will directly shape the next generation of sustainable materials. You’ll work alongside Cambridge University alumni pioneering cutting-edge technology in construction, contributing to a more resilient, eco-friendly built environment.
