Structural Engineer - PTLS - Review & Acceptance

Morson Talent are delighted to present an opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced Structural Engineer (PTLS) to join our client’s established team for work associated with a major Energy infrastructure Project in Somerset. This is likely to be a longer-term contract position – inside IR35. Work location: Site based 3 days per week with 2 days worked remotely.

Context:

The Joint Design Office (JDO) has been created to reinforce the site-based engineering, to quickly respond to engineering queries and problems coming from site construction, to deliver the schedule and to deliver an increased scope of work. A primary benefit of this organisation is to save time for construction on site by having reactive answers and solutions to pursue their activities.

The role of Structural Engineer rests within the Review & Acceptance branch of the JDO in specific relation to the Embedded Steelwork (Pools, Tanks, Liners, Sumps) scope(s).

• Contributing to the resolution and closure of Open Points.
• Assessing technical risk (and subsequently addressing this risk)
