Great opportunity to join our dynamic and developing Design Teams

As a forward-thinking in-house business unit, our Engineering Consultancy offers a range of services to the County Council and other public authorities. Our Structures Design Teams are looking for highly motivated and technically strong Bridge Engineers to be involved in the delivery of challenging bridge design and maintenance schemes. We have a great team environment, and we support and develop our engineers, so they are continuously developing their skills.

Working in the Structures Design Teams, you will be responsible for project management and design of a wide variety of bridge replacement, strengthening and maintenance schemes, as well as the inspection and assessment of current bridges and other highway structures. Whilst taking a leading role of the scheme assigned, you will be working closely with a Senior member of the team to enable you to learn and expand your experience. You should have a good understanding of relevant design standards (Eurocodes), construction methods and contract procedures.

Our current projects include design of a new integral two span continuous steel composite deck bridge as part of a bypass route (£26M scheme), a £5.5M bridge replacement scheme in New Forest, a £25M refurbishment scheme of 4 major structures spanning River Test and Network Rail tracks, several small bridges and footbridges deck strengthening and replacement (varying from 100k to £1M schemes). Future work will include among others, multi-million railway footbridge replacement and strengthening of a 27 spans concrete bridge, as well as continuing the small replacement/strengthening schemes. In addition, we provide technical support to external clients, developers, contractors, and other local authorities.

What we can offer you:

Challenging and rewarding work – from small bridge strengthening schemes to multi-million design and repair schemes.

Plus the opportunity to enhance your skills and broaden your technical capabilities.

We will support you to become chartered, if you are not already, through the Hampshire County Council approved ICE Training Scheme. You may also have the option to take on a relevant apprenticeship in the future via our internal development programmes.

Hampshire County Council is a flexible employer interested in making the most of your skills and offers a great work life balance. We will also invest in you through our internal development programmes and training. Hampshire County Council offers a competitive salary and benefits package, please see our website for details.
