Bridge Engineer

Bridge engineers design, assess and oversee the construction and maintenance of bridges and related structures. They perform structural analysis, design load paths, ensure safety and durability, manage materials and construction methods, and comply with UK standards such as Eurocodes. They work on new crossings, refurbishments, safety upgrades and asset management for organisations like highways authorities, consultancies and contractor teams. The role blends technical analysis, project management and collaboration with architects, contractors and stakeholders. Roles can involve fieldwork, computer modelling, and travel to sites for inspections and commissioning.
