You’ll be responsible for reviewing engineering proposals submitted by developers, coordinating technical approvals and protecting operational transport infrastructure throughout the lifecycle of third‑party developments.

Working closely with developers, contractors, consultants and internal engineering teams, you’ll provide technical guidance, assess engineering risks and ensure projects meet the required standards before work proceeds.

• Review engineering drawings, reports and technical submissions produced by developers and their design teams.
• Assess the impact of proposed developments on operational transport infrastructure.
• Manage engineering interfaces between external developers, contractors and internal assurance teams.
• Coordinate technical approvals, consents and access requirements for third‑party works.
• Interpret structural assessment reports and engineering documentation.
• Identify engineering risks associated with construction adjacent to operational transport assets.
• Coordinate specialist engineering reviews where required.
• Monitor project progress, time and costs to support cost recovery.
• Attend site meetings and carry out engineering reviews during construction.
• Provide technical advice to internal and external stakeholders.
• Support the safe delivery of infrastructure projects through effective engineering assurance.

• Strong understanding of engineering risk assessment.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience working with developers, consultants and contractors.
• Ability to manage multiple engineering projects simultaneously.
• Experience carrying out or interpreting structural inspections and assessments would be advantageous.
• Knowledge of legislation such as the CDM Regulations, Highways Act, Town & Country Planning Act, Party Wall Act or railway legislation would be beneficial.

Candidates should ideally hold:

• Degree, HND or equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
• Working towards or holding Eng Tech, IEng or CEng status would be advantageous. The role also values experience producing technical reports, supporting engineering projects and applying engineering standards within a structured governance framework.
