Civil Engineers

As a Senior Civil Engineer in our Transmission business, your day is filled with dynamic and impactful activities that drive the success of electrical transmission infrastructure projects. You start your day by reviewing design plans and ensuring they align with project specifications and regulatory standards. Collaboration is key, so you engage with multidisciplinary teams, including electrical engineers, architects, and construction managers, to integrate civil and structural elements seamlessly into the overall project design.

Throughout the day, you lead technical discussions and design review meetings, where you provide valuable insights and guidance to ensure that all design outputs meet the highest quality standards. You take a hands‑on approach to problem‑solving, whether it’s conducting site visits to identify potential constraints or using computational design software to refine structural plans.

Your role also involves managing the flow of design information and documentation, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to accurate and up-to-date information. You liaise with consultants and contractors, providing clear instructions and managing timescales to keep the project on track. As a leader in value engineering, you continuously seek opportunities to optimize cost, schedule, quality, and constructability, ensuring that the project delivers maximum value.

In addition to technical responsibilities, you play a crucial role in change management, assessing contractor value proposals and communicating the implications of design changes to all parties involved. Your day is a blend of strategic planning, technical expertise, and collaborative teamwork, all aimed at delivering successful and innovative infrastructure solutions.
