Civil Structural Engineer

VGC are pleased to be supporting our client, looking for a Civil & Structural Engineer to work on challenging and inspiring projects in the Energy Transition sector. If you're a Civil/Structural Engineer who would be excited to apply your expertise and experience on industry leading, low carbon energy technology projects, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to make an impact.

This role can be based anywhere in the UK, with occasional visits to regional offices and projects.

Working closely with the Civil and Structural Engineering Lead, you will be developing innovative engineering solutions, on time and budget, for complex energy projects. Your role will cover concept stage through to detailed design, using your experience with tools such as Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
Responsibilities include:

• Develop Civil & Structural solutions across feasibility, concept, FEED, value engineering, and detailed design stages
• Produce high-quality deliverables, including 3D structural models, design reports, GA drawings, pipe supports, foundation layouts, and reinforced concrete detailing
• Support plant layout development and integration into 3D models
• Collaborate with equipment vendors to optimise package designs and contribute to technical evaluations
• Assist with proposals and tenders, both within Civil & Structural and across multidisciplinary projects
• Contribute to site activities during development, construction, and commissioning phases

You'll be working as part of a strong Energy Transition team, supporting clients across the full project lifecycle of Energy projects and assets, from ECI through construction, operation and decommissioning.
The team works across a broad spectrum of low- and zero-carbon technologies, including emerging and first-of-a-kind solutions. Projects are delivered in collaboration with developers, utilities, government bodies, financial institutions, contractors, and OEMs to create safe, reliable, and future-ready infrastructure.

I'm looking to speak with candidates who can demonstrate a strong technical ability in, and passion for, engineering within the Energy sector. The ideal candidate will have:

• A degree in a relevant engineering discipline
• Progress toward Chartered status with a recognised engineering institution
• Experience in Civil & Structural detailed design
• Knowledge of relevant national and international codes and standards within the energy or power sector
• A solid understanding of the design process, from scope definition through to calculations and delivery
• Experience using structural design software (e.g. Robot or STAAD Pro) and CAD tools such as Revit and AutoCAD
• A collaborative approach, with experience working alongside clients and contractors with varied technical and commercial priorities
