Senior Methods Engineer

Description

• Collaborate across all NNB/CWA teams, ensuring engineering solutions align with project goals, statutory requirements, and practical realities on the ground.
• Lead the charge on ‘Safe by Design' and ‘Engineered Safety', partnering closely with designers and the supply chain to elevate health, safety, and wellbeing standards for everyone involved in the project.
• Work hand-in-hand with commercial, procurement, project controls, construction delivery, and HSE teams, ensuring technical aspects are fully understood and incorporated across the project lifecycle.
• Be the construction engineering voice in key meetings and workshops, influencing constructability reviews, value engineering initiatives, and options studies to deliver smart, buildable solutions.
• Navigate and champion the Civils Works Alliance (CWA) processes and procedures, ensuring seamless integration and compliance throughout.
• Challenge and refine designer proposals to de-risk solutions, uncover value engineering opportunities, reduce costs, optimize quantities, and accelerate construction timelines.
• Develop and innovate engineering methodologies, crafting initial construction method statements that shape designers' detailed plans and form the backbone of on-site construction strategies.
• Engage directly with designers to fully understand design constraints and gather essential information that guides practical, efficient construction approaches.
• Capture and integrate lessons learned from the HPC project, driving continuous improvement and innovation in engineering methods for the SZC project.

Requirements

• Experience with prefabrication, DfMA, earthing systems, craneage, and earthworks.
• Familiar with collaboration tools for document and technical management.
• Experience in power or nuclear sectors is a plus.
• Skills in 3D modelling software like Tekla.
• Excellent communication skills across all project levels.
• Experience leading technical meetings with designers, subcontractors, and stakeholders.
• Familiarity with Asite or similar platforms.
• Professional membership (e.g., ICE) preferred.
• Civil Engineering degree.
• Competent in CAD, Revit, and Navisworks for 3D modelling and visualisation.
• At least 6 years of relevant civil engineering experience, ideally contractor-side.
• Temporary works design knowledge (formwork and falsework).
• Good understanding of Inspection & Test Plans and quality procedures.
• Ability to create sketches, model views, and detailed construction methodologies.
• Strong problem-solving skills and environmental awareness.
• Strong technical knowledge of heavy reinforced concrete, waterproofing, and temporary works.
