AtkinsRéalis is looking for a seasoned Senior Structural / Bridges Engineer to drive major urban infrastructure projects in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is a high-impact role for experts ready to lead steel bridge design and construction supervision for one of the region’s most ambitious development programs.
Role Overview
You will be at the center of the RCRC Bridges Program, handling everything from initial design concepts to final site delivery. This position demands a blend of technical brilliance and on-site management. You aren’t just drawing plans; you are coordinating across highway, utility, and geotechnical teams to ensure these structures stand the test of time.
If you have a history of working on large-scale grade separations, flyovers, and interchange systems, this is your chance to make your mark on the Riyadh skyline. You will guide junior engineers, mentor the design team, and act as a key point of contact for stakeholders and contractors.
What You Need to Bring
Success in this role requires more than just a degree. Here is what the team at AtkinsRéalis is looking for:
- Experience: A minimum of 12 years in bridge engineering. You need a solid track record in steel bridge structures and site-based construction supervision.
- Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Structural Engineering. A Master’s degree will definitely give you an edge.
- Regional Expertise: You should be familiar with the Saudi Arabia or GCC construction landscape. Understanding local regulations and international standards like AASHTO and Eurocodes is mandatory.
- Technical Proficiency: You must be highly skilled in software like MIDAS Civil, SAP2000, CSI Bridge, or RM Bridge.
- Leadership: You need to be comfortable mentoring teams and managing relationships with contractors, government agencies, and utility stakeholders.
Why This Role Stands Out
Working with AtkinsRéalis comes with a comprehensive package designed to support your life and career in the Middle East. Beyond the professional growth of working on high-profile infrastructure, you will receive:
- Tax-free salary: Maximize your earnings in a competitive market.
- Full Benefits: Medical and life insurance, plus annual flight contributions.
- Relocation Support: Housing and transportation allowances to make your move to Riyadh seamless.
- Wellbeing: Access to a 24/7 support program covering everything from fitness and nutrition to financial and legal advice.
