Structural Engineer - Bridges & Infrastructure

Understand how structures work? Interested in applying that knowledge to bridges? We would like to hear from you.

At VEDA Associates, we design, assess and strengthen bridges and infrastructure. Our established teams in Poland and the UK work together on projects ranging from bridge replacements and strengthening schemes to assessments of existing structures and temporary works.

We are looking for a Structural Engineer to join our Kraków team. You may already work in bridges, or your experience may come from buildings or other structural engineering projects. What matters to us is a sound understanding of structural behaviour, the ability to design from first principles and an interest in developing your expertise.

Working alongside experienced colleagues in Poland and the UK, you will:

• Undertake structural calculations and analysis for new and existing structures.
• Contribute to bridge design, assessment, strengthening and temporary works projects with an opportunity to take on Project Lead role in time.
• Develop practical design solutions, from initial options through to detailed design.
• Prepare calculations, technical reports and sketches, and work with technicians to produce engineering drawings.
• Coordinate your work with colleagues across disciplines and offices.
• Take increasing responsibility for others, deliverables and project coordination as your experience develops.

• A degree in civil or structural engineering and relevant structural engineering experience.
• A sound understanding of load paths, structural behaviour and design from first principles.
• Experience designing steel and/or reinforced concrete structures to Eurocodes.
• Confidence using hand calculations and structural analysis software, with the judgement to question and check the results.
• An enquiring approach, attention to detail and a willingness to discuss and develop ideas.
• English sufficient to collaborate with UK colleagues and contribute to technical documents and project discussions.

Previous bridge or UK rail experience is welcome, but is not essential. We are interested in your engineering foundations and potential. You will work with experienced bridge engineers as you develop familiarity with the sector and its requirements.

• Excellent career progression options with exposure to Clients, project delivery, commercial management.
• A competitive salary reflecting your skills and experience.
• Hybrid working from our established Kraków office.
• Varied engineering work across UK bridge and infrastructure projects.
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers, with opportunities to develop your technical skills and take on greater responsibility.
• ICE / IStructE Chartership support.
• Private healthcare through Medicover.
• A MultiSport card.

If you are curious about moving into bridge engineering, we would welcome your application.
