Job description

Take the Lead on Projects That Challenge You

We’re looking for a Senior Structural Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical problems, delivering high‑quality structural design, and supporting others to grow.

If you want real responsibility, interesting work, and the chance to influence how structural design is delivered - this role has your name on it.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading structural design packages for small–medium projects, or owning key design elements within major multidisciplinary schemes
• Producing and reviewing structural calculations, models, drawings, and specifications
• Applying deep knowledge of UK design codes (Eurocodes, National Annexes, British Standards)
• Carrying out detailed structural analysis using industry‑standard software
• Contributing to project programmes and providing progress updates to senior engineers
• Supporting tenders, fee proposals and technical scope development
• Introducing practical, smart structural solutions that improve buildability and sustainability
• Mentoring junior structural engineers and supporting their development

What You Bring

• Chartered Structural Engineer (CEng MIStructE or CEng MICE with strong structural focus)
• Strong experience delivering structural design for complex building or infrastructure projects
• Technical expertise across:
• Steel, concrete, timber and masonry design
• Structural assessments and refurbishment
• Dynamic or seismic analysis (advantageous)
• High proficiency in tools such as Tekla Structural Designer, STAAD, Robot, or Tedds
• Experience working within integrated multidisciplinary project teams
• Knowledge of BIM workflows and Navisworks
• Understanding of CDM duties and structural safety
• CSCS card, eligibility for SC clearance, and full UK driving licence

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t a “just keep things moving” type of position.

You’ll have ownership, visibility, and the chance to apply your structural expertise on projects that genuinely stretch your skills.

Ready?

If you’re a Senior Structural Engineer looking for more challenge, more impact and more scope to lead — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today.

Many of the positions within our company are subject to security clearance. This means that your eligibility for certain roles may be affected by various factors. The successful candidate must be able to achieve and maintain security clearance for this role as required by our clients and sectors.
