A Design & Build Specialist Bridge team are looking for a Chartered Engineer to take on the role of Principal Engineer or Associate at the Leeds (Otley) office. You will take a leading role on some of the most technical Design & Build projects.

Recent designs include multi-span bridge structures, moveable bridges (which they are known specialists for), and large concrete culverts and bridges. Previous projects include Herring Bridge, a £m twin leaf bascule bridge. The Renfrew Bridge, a metre double cable stayed, swing bridge. And the Royal Canal Phase 2 Viaduct in Dublin City.
