Job description

Digital Structural Technician

London

Permanent

Salary - £40,000 - £50,000 (depending on experience) + Benefits

I’m working with a high-quality, design-led structural engineering practice in Central London who are looking to strengthen their in-house digital and BIM capability.

This is a genuinely interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys Revit, but is equally motivated by computational and analytical modelling. It is not a typical "Revit technician" role and will suit someone keen to work closer to engineering, data and digital workflows.

The Practice

• Independent structural engineering consultancy, established 6 years

• 23–25 people

• Known for delivering large, complex projects well above their size

• Current workload includes:

  • Multiple projects over £100m construction value

  • Many schemes in the £50–£80m range

  • A recent £300m, 620,000 sq ft commercial development in the City

• Predominantly commercial office projects (Zone 1 & 2, London)

• Mix of retrofit, extension and new build

• Broad structural palette: steel, concrete and innovative timber

• Additional work across residential (including social housing), higher education, labs and cultural buildings

• Highly technical and design environment

Why They’re Hiring

The practice already works with a small external Revit team and has an experienced in-house BIM Lead coordinating delivery. That model has worked well, and the next step is to grow the internal team to support increasingly large and technically demanding projects.

Around 60–70% of the role will involve analytical modelling and digital workflows, rather than pure drawing production.

The Role

You’ll work closely with the BIM Lead and engineering team to:

• Develop and manage structural Revit models

• Create and extract analytical models from Revit

• Support and improve digital delivery across live projects

• Use and develop workflows in Rhino, Grasshopper and Python

• Help drive smarter, more automated and data-led processes

• Coordinate with external BIM resources where required

Candidate Profile

They are looking for someone with:

• At least 2–3 years’ experience (ideally 5–6 years)

• Strong Revit experience within structural engineering

• A clear interest in digital design, computation and analysis

• Experience with (or strong interest in) Rhino / Grasshopper / Python

• A proactive, engaged approach and enthusiasm for improving workflows

• Comfort working independently within a small, collaborative team

Working Style & Culture

• Primarily work-from-office, with flexibility where needed

• Relaxed, supportive culture

• No micromanagement

• People here are trusted to manage their own time and workload

Office & Location

• Based near Blackfriars tube station

• Large studio space (they are also the engineers redeveloping the building)

• Committed to staying in this area, with short-term office plans underway

Benefits & Package

• Competitive salary (open for the right person)

• Pension: 8% employer / 5% employee

• 25 days annual leave

• Target 10% bonus, paid in summer and winter (historically paid)

• 6 months full-pay maternity leave

• 4 weeks paid paternity leave

• Monthly in-office events (technical talks, industry sessions or socials)

• + more!
