Job Description:

Your new company
Your new company is an established multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, founded in Manchester over 50 years ago. Since then, they have opened 9 offices across the UK and specialise in Civil & Structural, MEP & Environmental disciplines. They have over 200 staff and are widely considered one of the UK's leading consultancies, delivering world-class projects to an impressive range of clients.

Your new role
As a Senior or Principal Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for independently undertaking structural appraisals across a wide range of industrial, heritage, retail, workplace, high-rise, and commercial buildings. These appraisals will assess structural condition and their continued stability.

You will need to identify defects, diagnose the cause, often employing intrusive investigation or non-destructive techniques, which you will need a solid understanding of, before being involved with the design and repair process alongside colleagues in design.

Once settled in, you will be given the opportunity to start growing and leading your own team of graduates and engineers, on the pathway to Associate engineer as part of the team's organic growth strategy.

What you'll need to succeed

• You should have at least 6 years of UK structural engineering experience, with technical involvement across a wide range of buildings and sectors.
• It is highly desirable that you have sound knowledge of structural principles, in order to diagnose defects, report accordingly, and design or consult on the repair process.
• You should have competence with relevant modelling software such as AutoCAD, TEDDS, Tekla, Revit, etc.
• You should be able to prepare and present detailed reports.
• You should be passionate about building appraisal in order to mentor and motivate graduates.

What you'll get in return

• In return, you will receive a competitive annual salary, in the region of £45,000 - £60,000, though both more and less is available depending on experience.
• You will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, with a strong recent track record.
• Enrolment into the company pension scheme (4% personal, 6% employer contribution) and death in service scheme.
• Hybrid and agile working available.
• Regular social events internally and with clients.
