Job Description

Technical Excellence. Project Leadership. Engineering the Future of Maritime Infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced and technically capable Principal Maritime Engineer to join our growing Ports and Maritime team. This is an opportunity for an established maritime engineering professional to take a leading role in the delivery of complex port and marine infrastructure projects, provide technical direction to multidisciplinary teams and contribute to the continued development of our maritime business.

You will work across a diverse portfolio of projects in Ireland and the UK and internationally, supporting public and private sector clients in the development, refurbishment and expansion of maritime infrastructure. Projects will span the full engineering lifecycle, from feasibility studies, optioneering and masterplanning through to detailed design, procurement, construction support and asset management.

The successful candidate will combine strong engineering judgement with the ability to lead technical delivery, develop innovative and practical solutions, build client relationships and support the development of less experienced engineers.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their technical influence, take greater responsibility for project delivery and contribute to the growth and reputation of an ambitious maritime engineering business.

The Role

As Principal Maritime Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and take responsibility for the successful delivery of maritime engineering projects and work packages. Working closely with project directors, clients and colleagues across our multidisciplinary business, you will ensure that engineering solutions are technically robust, commercially appropriate and deliverable.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the technical delivery of maritime engineering projects from early feasibility and concept development through to detailed design and construction.
  • Developing and reviewing engineering solutions for ports, harbours, marine terminals and associated infrastructure.
  • Taking responsibility for the design and assessment of marine structures, including quays, jetties, piers, dolphins, linkspans, slipways, breakwaters and seawalls.
  • Preparing, reviewing and checking engineering calculations, technical reports, specifications, drawings and construction documentation.
  • Providing technical direction and quality assurance, ensuring that designs meet relevant standards, client requirements and project objectives.
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary engineering inputs, including civil, structural, geotechnical, coastal, environmental and infrastructure specialists.
  • Leading technical discussions with clients, contractors and other stakeholders, providing clear and practical engineering advice.
  • Developing safe, buildable, maintainable and cost-effective solutions that respond to operational and construction constraints.
  • Supporting the preparation of bids, technical proposals, scopes of work and fee submissions.
  • Identifying opportunities to develop existing client relationships and contribute to winning new maritime work.
  • Mentoring and supporting engineers and technicians, sharing knowledge and helping to develop technical capability within the team.
  • Promoting innovation, digital engineering and sustainable design approaches throughout project delivery.

About You

You will be an experienced maritime engineer with a strong technical background and the confidence to take ownership of complex engineering challenges. You will be comfortable working independently, providing technical direction to others and engaging directly with clients and project stakeholders.

You are likely to demonstrate:

  • A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Maritime Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Chartered Engineer status with ICE, IStructE or an equivalent professional institution.
  • Significant experience in the design, assessment and delivery of maritime infrastructure projects.
  • Strong technical understanding of marine structures, including piled structures, reinforced concrete, steelwork, quay walls, jetties, piers, dolphins, linkspans, slipways and marine terminals.
  • Experience in the assessment, refurbishment and rehabilitation of existing port and maritime infrastructure.
  • Knowledge of relevant design standards, Eurocodes, British Standards, PIANC guidance and industry best practice.
  • Experience undertaking structural analysis and design calculations, with familiarity with relevant engineering analysis and modelling software.
  • A proven ability to lead technical work packages and coordinate multidisciplinary design inputs.
  • Experience preparing and reviewing technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings and construction documentation.
  • An understanding of construction methodologies, buildability, temporary works considerations and the practical challenges of delivering projects in marine environments.
  • Strong project management and commercial awareness, including an understanding of scope, programme, budgets and quality requirements.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to present technical solutions and provide advice to clients.
  • Experience mentoring and supporting the professional development of engineers and technicians.
  • Experience in port masterplanning, feasibility studies, marine asset inspections, condition assessments, dredging, shipyard infrastructure or offshore energy terminals would also be advantageous.

What We Offer

This is an opportunity to join a growing maritime engineering business and play an important role in delivering technically challenging and nationally significant infrastructure projects.

We offer:

  • Technical influence: The opportunity to take a leading role in shaping engineering solutions and maintaining high technical standards across our maritime projects.
  • Project variety: Exposure to a diverse portfolio of port, harbour, marine terminal and coastal infrastructure projects in the UK and internationally.
  • Career development: Opportunities to develop your technical expertise and progress towards more senior technical or project leadership responsibilities.
  • Professional development: Support for continued professional development, chartership and technical specialisation.
  • Knowledge sharing: Work alongside experienced specialists across maritime, coastal, civil, structural and environmental disciplines.
  • Client engagement: Opportunities to develop client relationships and become a trusted technical advisor.
  • Innovation: The opportunity to contribute to digital engineering, sustainable design and innovative approaches to maritime infrastructure.
  • Flexible working: Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.
  • Competitive package: A competitive salary and comprehensive employee benefits.

Join Us

If you are an experienced maritime engineer looking for the opportunity to take greater technical responsibility, work on challenging infrastructure projects and contribute to the development of a growing maritime engineering business, we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you.

Join us and help deliver the next generation of maritime infrastructure, bringing together sound engineering judgement, technical innovation and practical solutions to meet the evolving needs of ports and coastal communities.
