Job description

Senior Tekla Technician - London

Ready to put your Tekla expertise to work on complex structural engineering projects that genuinely make an impact? This is a hands‑on Senior Tekla Technician role focused on producing high‑quality Tekla models and drawings across a varied portfolio of structural projects, predominantly within the temporary works market. You'll work closely with engineers and designers to develop practical, buildable solutions, ensuring accuracy and quality from concept through to delivery.

While the core focus is technical delivery, this opportunity could also suit someone who enjoys mentoring and leading a small team, taking ownership of standards, outputs, and day‑to‑day direction.

What's in it for you?

• Technical ownership - take responsibility for producing detailed, accurate Tekla models and drawings that directly support safe, successful delivery.
• Be the Tekla specialist – use your experience across steel and/or concrete (with the opportunity to broaden into the other material).
• Project variety – work across interesting, fast‑paced structural and temporary works packages with real engineering challenges.
• Leadership opportunity (if you want it) – support and guide a small team of technicians, helping to maintain quality and improve ways of working.
• Strong package – competitive salary, performance bonus, medical insurance, generous holiday allowance, and pension scheme.

What you'll be doing

• Producing detailed Tekla models and drawings in line with project and client requirements.
• Coordinating closely with engineers and designers to develop structural and temporary works solutions.
• Maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy, and drawing/model output across multiple projects.
• Contributing to best practice and helping improve workflows, standards, and Tekla outputs.
• Supporting junior technicians through guidance, mentoring and (where applicable) day‑to‑day oversight.

What you'll need

• A qualification in Civil/Structural Engineering or similar (HNC/Bachelor's) or similar.
• Strong Tekla Structures experience (steel and concrete ideally, though strong experience in one material is absolutely fine).
• Solid understanding of structural engineering principles and construction practices.
• Ability to manage competing deadlines and multiple live projects.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative approach.
• Experience leading or mentoring technicians is beneficial, but the priority is strong technical Tekla capability.

If you're a technically strong Senior Tekla Technician looking for a role where your Tekla output drives delivery, with the option to lead a small team, we'd like to hear from you.
