Requirements:

• Degree in Structural or Civil Engineering

• Minimum 2-3 years' experience in a similar role

• Solid understanding of UK building regulations and design codes

• Strong technical and analytical skills, with experience using structural design tools

• Effective communicator and team player with a collaborative mindset

• Interest or experience in heritage, conservation, or refurbishment work is a bonus
