Principal Maritime Civil Engineer
This isn’t a role where you inherit someone’s desk and quietly pick up where they left off.
At TILT Engineering & Design, we’re a fast-growing, specialist maritime civil engineering consultancy working across marinas, harbours, ports, and waterfront infrastructure internationally. We’re looking for a Principal Maritime Civil Engineer who wants to take lead, shape the direction of our marine capability, and grow as part of a dynamic, ambitious team.
If you want bureaucracy, layers of approvals, and doing the same thing every day — this isn’t it.
If you want autonomy, variety, responsibility, and the chance to genuinely influence the future of a startup consultancy with big plans — read on.
The Role
As our Principal Maritime Civil Engineer, you will take the lead on engineering design, technical delivery, and client-facing work across a diverse portfolio of coastal and marine projects. You’ll play a pivotal role in driving technical quality, mentoring junior engineers, and helping us expand our maritime offering.
Key Responsibilities

Produce and review engineering drawings, calculations, and detailed design reports.
Undertake stability, structural, and geotechnical assessments for floating and fixed assets.
Oversee design risk assessments, technical reviews, and quality assurance processes.
Champion innovative, practical, and commercially efficient solutions for clients.
Project Leadership
Manage projects from concept through detailed design, consenting, construction and handover, reporting directly to the Managing Director.
Be Client facing and building our client base.
Prepare and contribute to tenders, bids, and technical proposals.
Conduct site inspections, investigations, and construction support visits.
Monitor progress against programme and budget, proactively managing risks.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to clients, contractors, and partners.
Mentor our team and lead in continuous improvement.
Regulatory, Consenting & Environmental Compliance
Lead or support MMO licence applications and marine consents.
Ensure all designs meet relevant legislation, standards, and best practice (CDM, BS6349, Eurocodes, PIANC, etc.).
Contribute to environmental assessments and sustainability-driven design approaches.
Support and implement ISO 9001 & 14001-aligned management systems and EMS activities.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to tick every box — but you must be hungry to grow, lead, and take responsibility.
Degree-qualified in Civil, Structural, Marine, or Coastal Engineering.
To be Chartered with ICE IStructE.
Strong experience in maritime or coastal engineering design and delivery.
Proficiency with AutoCAD and structural analysis software (STRAP, Robot, STAAD, or similar).
Confident communicator who can work directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
Full UK driving licence and comfortable travelling to sites when required.
