As a Civil Asset Engineer, you'll play a key role in supporting the management and development of National Grid's civil and structural assets across their full lifecycle.

Working across Electricity Transmission, you'll help develop the engineering standards, specifications and technical requirements that underpin our substations and wider infrastructure. You'll provide specialist technical support to projects, help assess asset condition and performance, and contribute to strategies that ensure our network remains safe, resilient and efficient for the future.

This is an excellent opportunity for a civil or structural engineer looking to broaden their experience beyond traditional design or construction roles and develop expertise in asset management, engineering standards and critical national infrastructure.

• Support the development and maintenance of civil and structural engineering policies, standards, specifications and technical guidance.
• Provide technical expertise for civil infrastructure assets including foundations, buildings, drainage, roads, hardstanding, reinforced concrete and structural steelwork.
• Support the management of the existing asset base by assessing defects, deterioration, structural performance and asset health risks.
• Help develop risk-based approaches to inspection, condition assessment, refurbishment and replacement activities.
• Provide technical advice and assurance to project teams supporting the design, construction and commissioning of new infrastructure.
• Contribute to asset management strategies and engineering submissions that support investment planning and regulatory requirements.
• Undertake technical reviews of designs, calculations, surveys, investigations and engineering decisions.
• Collaborate with teams across Asset Operations, Network Engineering, Capital Delivery and external engineering partners to deliver effective solutions.
• Evaluate new materials, products and engineering approaches that improve safety, reliability and whole-life performance.
• Represent National Grid within industry working groups, technical forums and professional networks where appropriate.

We're looking for a civil or structural engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, working with infrastructure assets and influencing how engineering decisions are made.

You could be coming from a range of sectors including utilities, construction, transportation, highways, rail, water, industrial manufacturing, defence or other infrastructure environments. More important than sector experience is a strong foundation in civil or structural engineering and an interest in asset management and lifecycle engineering.
