We are seeking a talented and forward‑thinking Associate Structural Engineer to join our growing team. This is a leadership opportunity for a technically strong and client‑focused engineer who is ready to take the next step in their career — managing complex structural projects, leading teams, and helping to shape the strategic direction of the practice.

About the Role

As an Associate Structural Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of high‑profile structural engineering projects across multiple sectors, including commercial, residential, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. You’ll take responsibility for project management, technical excellence, and client relationships, while mentoring and developing engineers within your team.

You will play a key role in maintaining and improving quality standards, driving sustainable design innovation, and ensuring that projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest technical standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the structural design and coordination of projects in steel, concrete, timber, and masonry.

• Review and approve design deliverables including calculations, drawings, and technical reports.
• Ensure designs comply with relevant standards (Eurocodes, British Standards, and building regulations).
• Carry out technical reviews, value engineering exercises, and risk assessments.
• Support BIM integration and digital design processes (Revit Structure, Tekla, etc.).
• Provide commercial oversight — monitoring budgets, fees, and project progress.
• Contribute to business development activities including proposals, bids, and client presentations.
• Promote sustainability and innovation in structural solutions.

Qualifications and Experience

• Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (BEng / MEng).
• Chartered Engineer status (MIStructE or MICE) or equivalent.
• Minimum of 10 years’ experience delivering structural design and project leadership.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary coordination and manage client relationships.
• Strong proficiency in analysis and design software (e.g., Tekla Structural Designer, Tedds, Revit Structure).
• Excellent communication, organisational, and leadership skills.
• A collaborative mindset and a commitment to mentoring and developing others.
