Are you looking to be part of a growing team with the opportunity for growth or your next career step? Do you have a true passion to align business growth ambitions with the external world? This role will provide you the opportunity to drive our business agenda with a key focus on defence facilities.

Following continued success within the defence and South West region, Royal HaskoningDHV look to expand upon their current Exeter team through the growth of the maritime business. The South West offers an exciting opportunity for maritime engineers of all fields within a sought after region of the U.K. offering excellent work life balance.

Together, through our expertise and passion, we have helped contribute to a better society and improved people’s lives with work underpinned by our sustainable values and goals. We are an independent international engineering and project management consultancy leading the way in sustainable development and innovation.

We recognise that embracing diversity unlocks innovation and creativity and fosters collaboration. We want our employees to reflect the diversity of our communities and the customers we serve.

Our Maritime team are at the forefront of innovative maritime planning, design and development. We are multi-disciplinary experts that work on international projects to create successful ports and maritime infrastructure worldwide. We have provided expert commercial, technical and operational advice and created master plans across the five continents for a wide-range of port projects.

We are one of the largest and most experienced teams of port planning professionals globally and we are world leaders in the production of port feasibility studies and master plans. From our Maritime offices in Exeter, Newcastle, Liverpool, London and Brighton, we lead all the company’s shipyard projects collaborating with colleagues globally!

If you’re a structural / civil marine engineer looking to work on globally significant projects, this role would provide you a step-up in the career ladder.
