Bristol City Council

Principal Development Engineer
Bristol
£35,745 - £38,890
Ref: VAC000785

Do you care about the quality of the local environment? Do you see new developments and think “… that could be so much better”? If any of this sounds familiar, we are waiting to hear from you.

We need a qualified and experienced Civil Engineer to bring their technical expertise to our expanding team to ensure that developers deliver quality for Bristol with safe and maintainable new environments.

You will be required to undertake and manage the technical approval of developer-delivered works before supervising the delivery of those works. You will be involved with highway improvement schemes throughout the City from their earliest planning stages, right through to completion and certification.

The works you will assess and supervise will be a variety of new infrastructure and improvements delivered under Sections 38 and 278 of the Highways Act, and your expertise will ensure that the works meet the minimum standards that we expect.

You will have a broad experience of Civil Engineering, ideally being professionally qualified to Chartered Engineer status, or preparing to sit professional review. If you have relevant private sector experience, you will be of interest to us, although this is not essential.

We are a dedicated and multi-skilled team who are expanding once more to meet the rapidly increasing demands for housing in the City. We therefore seek an enthusiastic and committed team player, who is looking to further their skills and enhance the service we provide. We require someone who will take pride in their work to ensure the delivery of high quality infrastructure for the people of Bristol whilst challenging proposals that may fail to achieve this.

You will also have numerous training opportunities to enhance your technical and professional skills as you progress within the organisation, working in a supportive environment where you will have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
