Job description

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Chartered Structural Engineer to join a well-established and growing consultancy in Manchester.

Our client is looking for an experienced structural professional with at least 6 years' experience who has a strong background in structural inspections, surveys and building defect investigations. This is not a traditional structural design role; instead, the focus will be on assessing existing buildings, identifying structural issues, undertaking risk assessments and providing practical, technically sound recommendations.

Working within a close-knit Manchester office, you will be the lead structural engineer locally, taking responsibility for a varied workload while benefiting from the full technical support and expertise of an established team of engineers based in London.

There may also be opportunities to become involved in cladding remediation projects, adding further variety to the role.

Candidates must be Chartered and have excellent all-round knowledge of structural behaviour, building defects and the investigation of existing structures. Strong report-writing skills, a methodical approach and the confidence to deal with clients and provide clear technical advice are essential.

Our client offers hybrid working and an excellent opportunity for an experienced Chartered Engineer to take on a key role within an established consultancy, enjoy a good degree of autonomy and help develop its structural engineering presence in Manchester.

If you are a Chartered Structural Engineer looking for a role focused on investigations, surveys and building pathology rather than conventional design, this could be an excellent next career move.
