Bridge Designer

Bridge designers plan, design and supervise the construction of bridge structures. They assess site conditions, loads and materials, produce detailed drawings and specifications, and work with structural engineers, architects and construction teams to ensure safety, durability and compliance with UK building codes. They may specialise in concrete, steel or composite bridges and use computer modelling software to analyse stresses and behaviour under traffic loads and environmental factors. Roles involve problem solving, project management, site visits and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
