We’re seeking a Structural Engineer with a hunger for leadership, business development, and project delivery. You’ll be confident in managing client relationships, guiding a growing team, and delivering technically robust designs. This is more than a technical role—it’s a career-defining opportunity for someone with the ambition to lead, innovate, and influence the direction of a growing consultancy.

• Clear pathway to Director-level progression and equity potential.
• Support from an established and collaborative senior team.
• Flexible working arrangements with a people-first approach.
• A growing pipeline of diverse and challenging design-led projects.
• Opportunities for CPD, industry engagement, and thought leadership.

What You Need To Succeed

• Extensive experience delivering building structures projects with residential and commercial sectors.
• A track record of managing client relationships and leading project teams.
• Strong technical skills in structural design and relevant software (e.g. Tekla, Tedds, MasterSeries).
• A natural leader with the ability to recruit, mentor, and grow a high-performing team.
• Excellent communication skills with a collaborative, proactive mindset.
• Commercial awareness and confidence in contributing to business development.
• Ambition to be part of a growing consultancy with a long-term vision.
• Desire and commitment to work towards Chartership with ICE or IStructE.
• MEng or BEng in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
