About the Role
Amazing infrastructure isn’t the only thing that gets built here. Incredible careers do too. Join our Major Projects team as a Methods Engineer and you can build something to be proud of. This role supports the development of optimised construction solutions for complex infrastructure projects across transport and energy, from work winning through to pre-construction delivery. Drawing on knowledge of design, construction methods, temporary works, planning, logistics and project management, the role works collaboratively with site teams and the wider methods engineering team to develop effective construction methodology solutions. Sitting within a newly formed and growing team in the Technical Services department, the role offers strong development opportunities and exposure to a range of exciting projects. It is ideally suited to someone seeking a technically focused engineering role that will help them further develop their technical knowledge, with previous construction project experience at Site Engineer or Section Engineer level, or equivalent, preferred.

What you'll be doing
- Support pre-construction design and method development through to construction delivery
- Develop construction methodology solutions in line with design development
- Support construction sequencing using Method-led Construction principles
- Integrate temporary works design with permanent works using sound engineering principles
- Develop concept temporary works schemes and draft associated design briefs
- Create logistics strategies and plans to support construction methodology
- Coordinate with internal specialists and external supply chain partners across bids, pre-construction and early construction stages
- Support the development of cost and carbon estimates for the works
- Create detailed construction methodology schedules with input from the wider methods engineering team
- Promote modern methods of construction, BIM, digital tools, risk mitigation, lessons learnt and training resources
