The CSA Engineer is responsible for providing civil, structural and architectural engineering leadership on the Project, ensuring that all CSA design, construction and completion activities are delivered safely, on time, to specification and within budget. The role provides technical oversight and assurance of the CSA scope from Basis of Design (BOD) through construction and handover, working closely with the Client Engineering team, EPCM partners, contractors and specialist subcontractors to ensure integrated, compliant delivery across all buildings and site‑wide infrastructure.

CSA Design Oversight & Technical Assurance

Provide client‑side CSA engineering oversight across all buildings and site‑wide civil infrastructure, from Basis of Design (BOD) through detailed design.
Review and challenge EPCM and specialist consultant deliverables for structural design, architectural specifications, civil and drainage design, ensuring compliance with Eurocodes, Dutch building regulations, Global Engineering Standards and project‑specific requirements.
Ensure CSA design inputs are coordinated with process, mechanical, HVAC, E&I and fire protection disciplines; identify and resolve clashes and interface issues through design reviews and BIM coordination.
Support value engineering and buildability reviews to optimise CSA solutions for cost, schedule and constructability without compromising quality or compliance.
Oversee geotechnical and ground condition assessments, ensuring foundation design and earthworks solutions are appropriate for the site conditions (including any UXO, contamination or groundwater considerations).

Construction Support & Site Oversight

Provide CSA engineering support during construction, including review of contractor method statements, temporary works proposals, lifting plans and structural steelwork erection sequences.
Monitor CSA construction quality on behalf of the client, ensuring workmanship, materials and finishes meet specification and that non‑conformances are identified, documented and resolved.
Support resolution of site‑based technical queries (TQs) and requests for information (RFIs) relating to CSA scope; assess proposed changes for structural and architectural impact.
Coordinate with Construction Management and Leads to ensure CSA works are sequenced correctly relative to MEP installations, process equipment placement and clean‑build requirements.
Review and approve as‑built documentation, structural completion certificates and handover packages for CSA scope.

Regulatory, Permitting & Standards Compliance

Ensure all CSA design and construction activities comply with Dutch building regulations, Eurocodes (EN 1990–1999), fire safety codes and environmental permit conditions.
Support the environmental permitting process (Omgevingswet / BOPA application) by providing CSA‑related inputs including building envelope specifications, drainage design, landscape and visual impact assessments as required.
Maintain awareness of local planning conditions and ensure architectural design respects any site‑specific constraints (height restrictions, façade treatments, landscaping buffers, noise attenuation).
Ensure GMP‑relevant architectural elements (room classifications, finishes, cleanability, containment) are incorporated into the design and maintained through construction.

Integrated Planning & Stakeholder Coordination

Contribute to integrated schedule development by providing realistic CSA activity durations, sequencing logic and long‑lead procurement inputs (e.g., structural steel, cladding, specialist finishes).
Coordinate with procurement and EPCM teams on CSA package strategy, technical bid evaluation and vendor/subcontractor selection.
Communicate CSA progress, risks and issues clearly to Leads, the Project Director and wider stakeholder groups through regular reporting and design/construction review meetings.
Build effective working relationships across the contractor teams to facilitate rapid resolution of CSA‑related issues.

Safety, Environmental & Risk Leadership

Promote a strong safety culture and ensure CSA design and construction activities align with EHS policies, including safe design principles, CDM‑equivalent obligations and working‑at‑height risk management.
Identify, assess and manage risks across the CSA scope including ground conditions, structural interfaces, weather dependencies, material supply and subcontractor performance.
Support hazard identification and elimination through design (e.g., fall protection, structural stability during construction phases, temporary works design review).
Ensure environmental mitigation measures (dust, noise, vibration, water management) are incorporated into CSA construction methodologies.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture or a related discipline.
Chartered Engineer status (CEng) or equivalent professional registration is strongly preferred.
Proven experience (typically 10+ years) in CSA engineering on large‑scale industrial, pharmaceutical or advanced manufacturing facility projects.
Demonstrable experience across structural design review, construction oversight and handover on multi‑building greenfield programmes.
Strong working knowledge of Eurocodes (EN 1990–1999), and familiarity with Dutch or European building regulations.
Experience working within EPCM delivery models alongside international engineering contractors.
Excellent communication, coordination and stakeholder management skills; ability to work effectively in a multi‑disciplinary, multi‑cultural project environment
