Job description

Working: Hybrid

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Role: Permanent

I’m currently working with a forward-thinking structural and civil engineering consultancy based near London Bridge, who are looking to add a Structural Engineer to their growing team.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for an engineer who enjoys working on refurbishment, retrofit and complex existing structures, rather than purely repetitive new-build schemes.

The role

You’ll be involved in the design and delivery of a varied portfolio of structural projects, with a strong focus on:

• Refurbishment and retrofit


• Alterations to existing structures


• Structural assessments and investigations


• Residential and commercial developments


• Extensions and change-of-use projects


• New-build projects where appropriate


• Working closely with architects, contractors, developers and other consultants


• Taking projects from concept through to detailed design and delivery

There will be plenty of opportunity to get involved technically, take ownership of projects and develop your client-facing skills as you progress.

What they’re looking for

• Consultancy experience


• Experience working on refurbishment, retrofit or existing structures


• Good understanding of structural design principles
  
• Experience with steel, concrete, masonry and timber structures


• Strong communication and project management skills


• Someone ambitious who wants to continue developing their career

The company

This is a modern, progressive consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering technically challenging work.

They have one of the nicest offices in the City, based close to London Bridge, and have created an environment that is genuinely collaborative rather than overly corporate.

They also put a strong emphasis on developing their engineers, with full support towards IStructE Chartership, alongside mentoring, technical development and opportunities to take on greater responsibility.

Hybrid working is also available, offering flexibility without losing the benefits of being part of a strong engineering team.

If you're a Structural Engineer in London who enjoys refurbishment and retrofit work and wants to join a company that genuinely invests in its people, I'd be happy to have a confidential chat.
