Do you have what it takes to transform society?
We are currently looking for a talented and motivated Senior or Principal Engineer to join our Development Infrastructure team. This is a full-time role based in our Glasgow office and can be worked flexibly with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office and the option of adjusted start and finish times.
Working as part of a team, you will be developing innovative solutions to today’s global challenges, delivering sustainable designs that serve the needs of society today and into the future through the provision of integrated multi-disciplinary consultancy services to our clients.
You will be working on a variety of projects, including residential, energy, and commercial sector development schemes from inception through detailed design and on into construction, particularly focusing on large-scale energy infrastructure projects.
What does the role involve:
As a Senior or Principal Engineer in the Development Infrastructure team, you will:
* Undertake and check the delivery of design solutions and coordinate with other disciplines.
* Be involved in projects from conception to completion, including bid management to clarify the project brief, agree deliverables, key milestones, and project methodology.
* Undertake detailed design and check outputs as directed (e.g., calculations, models, drawings, sketches, reports) to achieve the optimum solution for the project.
* Assess, document, and communicate design changes to the client directly.
* Occasionally coordinate a design team and be involved in planning workload and allocating resources as required.
* Take ownership and responsibility for the quality of work produced, ensuring compliance with our Company Integrated Management system and relevant health and safety legislation.
* Recommend and implement improvements to technical policy, processes, and design solutions.
* Mentor and coach less experienced team members while continuing to learn from experienced colleagues.
* Develop meaningful and lasting relationships with a portfolio of clients to ensure repeat business.
This is an exciting time to join Sweco, and if you want to be part of a company that is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.
To be successful in this role you’ll possess:
* A desire to work in a team and a great attitude - collaboration will come naturally to you.
* An academic qualification, such as a master’s degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent, ideally accredited by the Engineering Council.
* A recognised professional qualification or be working towards an application within a defined timescale.
* Some relevant post-qualification engineering design experience and project delivery in residential, energy, and commercial sectors.
* Good organisational and project management skills to support multiple live projects.
* Competence in civil engineering infrastructure modelling software Civil 3D, with recent experience in highway, earthworks, and drainage design.
* Experience using drainage design tools, such as InfoDrainage, MicroDrainage, or Flow.
* A working knowledge of MS Office 365 tools.
* Experience in resource or commercial management on multi-disciplinary projects.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an interest in finding quick, innovative, and practical solutions.
* The ability to organise and prioritise a design team’s workload to ensure project timescales are met.
* The ability to travel to sites and offices within the UK when required; a driving license is helpful but not essential.
