The Opportunity:
Beckett Rankine are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated chartered/nearly chartered (within 12 months) Senior Engineer with approximately 3 years or more experience of heavy civil structures / infrastructure design (ideally with experience of maritime structures but not essential) to join our forward thinking and dynamic team of Engineers. The post is for a permanent position in our central London, Bristol or Glasgow office.
As a key member of our friendly close-knit team, you will be responsible for delivery of reports and designs. You will be expected to manage project teams and interface directly with clients.

As the UK’s leading specialist maritime civil engineering practice, Beckett Rankine regularly gets involved in projects which raise unusual design challenges; we therefore value innovative thinkers who respect, but are not constrained by, conventional design solutions.

Your role will be critical to the continuing growth of Beckett Rankine and you will be afforded the opportunity to develop and progress with the company.
You will need to be highly motivated, proactive and able to work in a diverse and friendly team. You will be expected to coach and mentor the less experienced team members to develop their design skills. The diversity and range of our projects requires a flexible and adaptable character who is willing to take on bespoke challenges, for this you will be rewarded with challenging and interesting project experience and opportunities to develop your career.
