Job Description:

This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest-growing contractors as a Principal Engineer to lead on complex civil engineering projects across our growing portfolio. This role is ideal if you’re looking to work in a supportive but ambitious environment with clear career progression and proactive employee engagement.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead engineering input across preconstruction stages — from early feasibility and outline design through to tender submission and handover to delivery teams
  • Provide technical leadership on bids, developing construction methodologies, sequencing, and risk mitigation strategies that maximise value and deliverability
  • Review and challenge designs through buildability reviews, value engineering, and technical risk assessments to ensure compliance, innovation, and cost efficiency
  • Develop and approve temporary and permanent works solutions in collaboration with designers, subcontractors, and suppliers
  • Champion sustainable and low-carbon engineering approaches, integrating SuDS, materials efficiency, and modern methods of construction
  • Support tender teams with technical scope writing, programme inputs, and responses to client technical queries
  • Act as technical advisor during client and consultant engagement meetings, clearly communicating engineering strategies and design rationale
  • Drive continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned from completed projects and embedding them into preconstruction processes
  • Mentor and develop junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and learning within the preconstruction team
  • Fulfil the role of Principal Designer under CDM Regulations 2015, where required
  • Represent Knights Brown at client presentations, design reviews, and industry events to promote our technical capabilities and innovation

Requirements:

  • Strong technical knowledge of engineering practices and construction standards
  • Chartered Engineer or working towards (CEng) status or equivalent (ICE, IStructE, or similar)
  • Demonstrable experience in CDM compliance, risk management, and technical assurance
  • Proficiency in design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, or similar)
  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical detail into clear, actionable guidance
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary design teams, including mentoring junior engineers and managing workflow
  • Experience in client liaison, stakeholder engagement, and technical reporting
  • Degree or HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or Construction Management (or equivalent)

Nice to have:

  • Experience in the energy, renewables
  • Strong understanding of buildability, temporary works, and construction sequencing
  • Knowledge of environmental permitting, flood risk, or water-sensitive design
