This is an opportunity to step into a live, multi‑disciplinary project environment and make an immediate impact on project delivery. You will take ownership of defined structural design packages, working closely with project teams and stakeholders to deliver high‑quality engineering solutions that meet agreed cost, programme, and safety requirements.
The Role
Reporting to an Associate or Principal Engineer, you will lead small to medium C&S design packages or contribute as a key team member on larger, complex projects. While there are no line management responsibilities, you will support and guide others through technical delivery and collaboration.

- Support programme development and provide progress and performance updates to Associate or Principal Engineers
- Promote BakerHicks’ Safe Together behaviours and a culture of quality, innovation and sustainability
You will be aligned to one sector assignment at a time, based on your experience and background.
