Prince of Wales Bridge Manager

We are excited to offer a permanent opportunity for an accomplished Prince of Wales
Bridge Manager to join our Specialist Bridges Inspection and Maintenance (SBIM) team in Bristol.

The Prince of Wales Bridge Manager is responsible for the management of all technical, engineering and operational aspects relating to the Prince of Wales Bridge. This includes ensuring operational and structural safety, resilience, and compliance with statutory and contractual obligations. The Bridge Manager leads the planning and delivery of inspections, maintenance, renewals, and enhancements, and acts as the primary interface with the Client’s team.

The Prince of Wales Bridge is a critical national asset, a modern, cable‑stayed structure spanning more than 5 km across the Severn Estuary and carrying the M4 motorway between England and Wales since its opening in 1996. Purpose‑built to increase capacity, improve resilience, and reduce journey times compared with the original Severn Bridge, it stands today as one of the UK ’ s most significant pieces of strategic infrastructure.

A central aspect of the role is to maximise value for money by driving operational efficiency and productivity. You’ll coordinate workbanks, access, resources, and supply chains for smooth delivery and minimal disruption.
