Job description

Are you ready to take the lead on projects that shape the built environment across Wales? We're looking for a Senior Structural Engineer to join a dynamic, friendly team based in Bangor, Wales. Your expertise will guide everything from domestic extensions to bespoke commercial developments. With the freedom to work fully remotely or on a hybrid basis, this is your chance to take ownership of meaningful projects while enjoying the flexibility to suit your lifestyle.

What Does the Role Entail?

As a Senior Structural Engineer, you'll be responsible for delivering technically sound and efficient designs that meet both British Standards and Euro Codes. You'll manage projects from start to finish, sometimes leading independently, other times collaborating on larger schemes across multiple offices. Your role will include coordinating with architects, contractors, and stakeholders to keep everything running smoothly, on time, and budget. Beyond the day-to-day, you'll play a key part in mentoring junior team members, contributing to bids and tenders, and supporting the continued growth of the business.

What Skills Will You Have?

We're looking for someone with solid experience in structural design and a deep understanding of engineering principles. You should be comfortable navigating British Standards and Euro Codes, and confident using tools like Tekla, CADS, and Tedds (AutoCAD experience is a bonus). Excellent communication skills will help you lead discussions, solve complex problems, and manage multiple projects with ease. If you're proactive, detail-oriented, and ready to support both clients and colleagues, you'll thrive here.

What Is On Offer?

You'll receive a competitive salary between 40,000 and 45,000, alongside a generous benefits package that supports your career and well-being. This includes 25 days of holiday (plus Bank Holidays), payment of professional subscriptions, private health-care, life assurance, income protection, and access to a cycle-to-work scheme. You'll also benefit from a structured professional development plan, annual paid volunteering day, and the flexibility to balance work with life in a way that suits you.
