Job description

We are a specialist structural steelwork contractor and designer driving economy and sustainable design solutions into steel-framed structures by providing an unrivaled range of cellular, shallow, and plated beam solutions. We are uniquely positioned to design, manufacture, and fabricate ribbon-cut cellular and plated beams, enabling us to drive the greatest economy into our customers’ projects. Our projects range from relatively small schemes to large-scale, award-winning projects across a diverse range of sectors.

We are looking to appoint a Technical Advisory Engineer for Scotland and the North of England to support our ongoing business in this important region. Engineers play a significant role in the construction sector and are active with industry bodies.

The ribbon-cut cellular beam we offer is the lightest weight, lowest embodied carbon cell beam in the marketplace. Our group has ambitious net-zero carbon targets in place and has recently launched a green steel initiative, emphasizing sustainability and minimizing the environmental impact of our activities.

Key Accountabilities

Based at home and/or at a regional branch, we are currently recruiting for a Technical Advisory Engineer. The role involves engaging with and designing for engineers and steelwork contractors to generate specifications and manage projects across various construction sectors in a region covering Scotland and the North of England. This role will require frequent visits to consulting engineers, contractors, and sites across the region.

• Previous direct experience with the design or procurement of projects involving cellular and plated beams is an advantage.
• Familiarity with design software is a plus.
• Knowledge of applications of structural steelwork outside of mainstream UK building structures, such as Modular, Temporary Works, Seismic, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Naval, Water, and Transport industries, is advantageous.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical and sustainability advice and carry out structural design calculations for new and existing projects.
• Offer value engineering calculations for projects where rival products/systems are already specified or under consideration.
• Take ownership of and manage projects to completion to ensure our products are specified by the engineer or progressed by the steelwork contractor.
• Arrange and hold technical CPD seminars for engineers, architects, and main contractors.
• Develop and engage with a network of key contacts in the industry and the region to seek opportunities in traditional and new sectors.
• Promote the advisory service and structural solutions.
