Director – Bristol - Engineering & Environmental Consultancy

Are you passionate about shaping the built environment while protecting the natural one? Do you thrive in a collaborative setting where innovation, sustainability, and excellence come together to create functional, beautiful spaces?

We're seeking a Director of Engineering to lead and grow our expanding engineering division in our new Bristol office. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team working across Civil, Structural, Geotechnical, and Environmental engineering, serving clients in both the infrastructure and energy markets.

About the Role

This senior leadership position is pivotal in establishing a strong regional presence in Bristol and across the Southwest of England & Wales. You'll take the reins in leading high-impact projects, mentoring a talented team, and driving business development. You'll act as the face of the engineering division—interfacing directly with clients, developing innovative design solutions, and securing future opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead engineering projects from concept to completion, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
  • Manage and mentor multi-disciplinary teams to foster growth and collaboration.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor from day one.
  • Develop and secure new business opportunities, helping to expand the regional footprint.
  • Guide the team with technical leadership, strategic vision, and project oversight.
  • Oversee budgets, timelines, and resources to ensure efficient project delivery.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, contracts, and professional standards.
  • Contribute to winning work through engaging proposals and client presentations.

What We're Looking For

  • Chartered Engineer with membership in a relevant professional institution.
  • Minimum 10 years' post-chartered experience in the consultancy sector.
  • Proven track record in leading Civil and Structural engineering design projects.
  • Strong background in building structures or civil infrastructure design.
  • Outstanding communication and leadership skills, with a knack for client engagement.
  • Demonstrated success in business development and financial performance.
  • Excellent mentoring abilities, with a passion for team development.
  • Solid understanding of project management, contracts, and fee structures.

Qualifications

  • Degree qualified (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Chartered Engineer status (CEng or equivalent).

If you're ready to make a significant impact in a leadership role within a growing, people-focused organisation, we'd love to hear from you. This is your chance to shape not only high-profile projects but also the future of an ambitious engineering team in one of the UK's most vibrant regions.
