Job description

Are you an experienced Senior Structural Engineer looking to join a successful and growing engineering consultancy in Manchester? This is an ideal position for a technically strong engineer who enjoys taking ownership of projects, leading design teams and building lasting relationships with clients.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the delivery of a diverse portfolio of structural engineering projects, overseeing schemes from initial concept through to completion. Alongside maintaining a hands-on involvement in design, the role will involve coordinating project resources, ensuring technical quality and keeping projects on track to meet programme and client expectations.

A significant part of the position will involve providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians, helping to develop their skills and encouraging high standards of engineering practice. The Senior Structural Engineer will also represent the consultancy at client and design team meetings, undertake site inspections and investigations, and identify appropriate solutions to any structural issues encountered.

Candidates should have extensive experience designing structures in a range of materials, including steel, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber, together with a sound understanding of soils, foundations and drainage. A thorough working knowledge of Eurocodes, British Standards and current CDM Regulations is essential, alongside the ability to produce clear, accurate calculations, drawings and technical reports.

Proficiency in AutoCAD, Tekla and Revit is required. Chartered status with the Institution of Structural Engineers or Institution of Civil Engineers would be highly desirable, although applications from experienced engineers working towards chartership will also be considered.

The role will also provide scope to contribute to business development, strengthen existing client relationships and support the continued success of the Manchester team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Senior Structural Engineer to take on a prominent position within an established consultancy, combining technical design, project leadership and team development.
