• Chartered status is desirable but not essential.
• Degree qualified in Structural Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience using structural design software such as Tedds, Robot, STAAD, SAP2000 or similar.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, practical approach.
• Full UK driving licence.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £40,000 - £60,000 DOE.
