The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and assessing a variety of structural forms, including reinforced concrete, structural steel, masonry, timber and hybrid structures, using industry-leading software such as Tekla Structural Designer, TEDDS, ETABS, Robot Structural Analysis or similar. They will oversee the preparation and checking of drawings and technical documentation, carry out structural surveys and reports for existing buildings, and ensure all work complies with British Standards, Eurocodes and recognised industry guidance.

Alongside technical delivery, the role involves acting as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, contractors and local authorities, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and managing project programmes, budgets and technical submissions. The successful engineer will also contribute to fee proposals, support business development activities and play an active role in maintaining the highest levels of quality, safety and compliance, including responsibilities under CDM 2015.
