Job description

This is an opportunity to join a well‑regarded structural consultancy with a strong reputation for technical quality and consistent project delivery. The team works across a range of medium to high‑rise residential and commercial projects, with an emphasis on practical, well‑considered engineering solutions.

The role sits just below Divisional Manager and offers a balance of technical leadership, team guidance, and hands‑on project work. You will lead structural design on complex projects, support and mentor engineers, and work directly with clients, architects, and consultants.

You’ll have scope to influence design decisions, manage technical risk, and contribute to the way projects are planned and delivered. Autonomy is a key part of the role, along with accountability for outcomes and team performance.

Performance is recognised through clearly defined expectations and measurable KPIs, with a focus on quality, collaboration, and delivery rather than hours alone.

This role will suit a Senior Structural Engineer who wants to take the next step in leadership, contribute meaningfully to the built environment, and build long‑term professional credibility.
