What We’re Looking For -

• Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (MEng or equivalent preferred)
• Chartered or working towards chartership (CEng MICE or MIStructE)
• Proven experience in bridge design and/or structural assessment
• Proficiency with structural analysis software (e.g. LUSAS, MIDAS, ANSYS, or similar FE tools)
• Strong report writing and communication skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote-first environment
• Willingness to travel occasionally for site inspections and client engagements
