My client is a progressive and well-regarded engineering consultancy headquartered in Leeds, known for delivering high-calibre structural engineering solutions across diverse project types. With a reputation built on technical excellence and client-focused delivery, they take pride in a portfolio that spans hi-rise residential (up to 50 storeys), commercial, mixed-use developments, and bespoke client-led projects.

The Role is supported by senior engineers and management to hone your technical expertise in a dynamic yet supportive setting.

• Competitive benefits including pension contributions, performance-related bonuses, and continuous professional development.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce structural designs and calculations across steel, concrete, masonry, and timber projects.
• Prepare and review technical documentation—including reports, drawings, and specifications—in line with relevant British Standards (BS) and Eurocodes (UK-compliant).
• Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, and contractors to ensure structural integration across disciplines is seamless.
• Undertake design reviews and quality assurance checks of junior colleagues' outputs.
• Perform site visits for feasibility analysis, inspections, and to support project progress.
• Participate in technical and client meetings, supporting presentations to stakeholders.
• Contribute to internal improvements by refining design processes or enhancing digital workflows and toolsets.

Your Profile

Essential:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in civil or Structural Engineering.
• Approximately 2 years of relevant structural design experience, including the use of analysis software (e.g., Tekla, SCIA, SAP2000, IDEA Statica) and CAD/BIM tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
• Solid understanding of steel, concrete, masonry, and/or timber design in-line with UK regulatory standards.
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal; comfortable producing technical reports and engaging with teams/clients.
• A proactive, collaborative attitude, with a keen focus on learning and professional growth.

Desirable (but not essential):

• Familiarity with sustainability metrics or embodied carbon assessment tools.
• Experience in multidisciplinary project settings and client-facing interactions.
• Professional accreditation or eligibility progress toward ICE or IStructE chartership.
