Long-term Project

Competitive salary package, with additional travel and accommodation benefits available to eligible employees.

Established in 1982 by our Chairman, Joseph Gallagher, JGL has evolved into the largest and leading subcontractor for tunnelling in the United Kingdom. We have also expanded our operations internationally, particularly in the Middle East. Our construction capabilities range from traditional hand tunnelling techniques to innovative methods employed in large-scale projects like Crossrail and Thames Tideway.

In this role, you will provide technical support to various sectors of our business, including above ground structures and tunnelling teams. You will also assist the tendering team in developing construction methodologies and lead projects through the preconstruction design phase, producing designs, and offering technical support during the construction phase to assist the site teams.

This is a practical, design-focused role for an engineer who enjoys solving the engineering problems that sit between design and construction
.

You will be responsible for developing temporary works solutions for heavy civil engineering projects, taking designs from an initial construction requirement through to detailed design, checking and construction support.

You will work closely with our Design Managers, Project Managers, Site Managers and Site Engineers to understand how the works need to be constructed and then develop temporary works that are safe, practical, buildable and proportionate to the project requirements
.

The role will cover a broad range of heavy civils temporary works rather than being limited to one particular system or discipline.

The exact scope will vary from project to project.

• Develop temporary works solutions from initial brief through to construction.
• Review temporary works briefs and identify the engineering requirements.
• Establish appropriate design criteria, loads, constraints and assumptions.
• Develop practical temporary works solutions for complex construction activities.
• Produce engineering calculations and design reports.
• Produce or oversee temporary works drawings.
• Ensure designs consider the complete construction sequence.
• Consider installation, use, inspection, modification and removal of temporary works.
• Design temporary works in accordance with applicable standards, project requirements and JGL procedures.
