You’ll work alongside highly experienced engineers on challenging schemes within the rail and heavy-industry sectors, gaining hands-on exposure that will accelerate your development and deepen your technical expertise.

As part of the wider Vulcain Group, you will also benefit from broader project opportunities, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and defined career pathways across a growing engineering organisation. This is an environment where committed engineers can truly broaden their capability and build a meaningful long-term career.

Preferred Profile:

• Proven experience in the design of large-scale structures such as bridges, structural steelwork, and reinforced concrete.
• Background in infrastructure, major projects, or heavy industry, with exposure to the Rail sector beneficial.
• Proficient in Tedds for structural calculations, with experience using finite element analysis software such as Robot, Midas, or similar tools.
• Experience contributing to inspections, assessments, and analysis of existing structures, as well as new-build design would be advantageous.
• Familiarity with temporary works is desirable.
• Comfortable operating in client-facing environments, with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ideally working towards professional accreditation (ICE or IStructE), with support available to progress toward Chartered status.
• Reside locally to Warrington or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.
