Job description

International Consulting Engineers 

Specialist services for challenging projects

ByrneLooby is an international consulting engineering practice. We work with our clients to deliver value solutions for challenging projects across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. We realise that our clients need much more than engineering designs - they need functional solutions which deliver value. We are passionate about engineering and always strive to optimise solutions for clients.

We have worked with contractors and construction professionals for many years and we understand the importance of delivering solutions which are buildable, simplify construction and consider all construction stages. Our solutions consider construction costs, construction sequence and programme. Our team of engineers are aware of the importance of being reliable and responsive when working with the construction team to deliver a project. 

We provide specialist advice on projects also and we have worked for other consultants, government departments and professional service companies (insurance and legal firms). Our team has a wealth of experience and they provide reliable advice. Our team has the ability to diagnose complex situations and provide remediation or alternative solutions. We also have many years’ experience carrying out complex numerical analyses and doing back analysis and investigation work.

Our team can provide expert advice and support on challenging projects from inception to completion and decommissioning.

We have an opportunity for a Senior to Associate Structural Engineer to take a leading role in the delivery of bridges and other major permanent and temporary structures principally in the rail and highway sectors in our Manchester office. A high proportion of the role will be focused on developing
design solutions for aged rail assets, principally bridges. The role involves technical delivery, project management, client liaison and business management. Knowledge and experience of masonry, concrete and steel bridge design is an advantage.
