Job description

We are currently representing a premier, award-winning Civil and Structural Engineering consultancy that has built a stellar reputation for delivering some of the most complex infrastructure in the UK and Europe. They are looking for a talented Structural Engineer to join their Berkhamsted office - a team prided on a high-performance culture, technical sophistication, and commitment to work-life balance.

This is a great chance to transition away from "business as usual" residential or commercial work and move into the high-stakes world of Data Centres and large-scale Industrial developments. You will join a specialist team of experts, taking ownership of design packages for massive, mission-critical facilities that power the modern digital economy. The role offers a perfect blend of high-level technical design and project management, ensuring you are never siloed into just one aspect of the project lifecycle.

Our client is looking for a motivated engineer with a minimum of three years of consultancy experience who is hungry for more responsibility. You will need to be someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is capable of producing elegant, efficient structural solutions for large-span, high-loading buildings.

What’s On Offer

• Market-Leading Projects: Gain rare and highly sought-after experience in the Data Centre sector, significantly increasing your long-term value in the global engineering market.
• True Hybrid Flexibility: A modern approach to the working week that trusts you to manage your own time, balancing office collaboration with home-working.
• Bespoke Chartership Support: Access to a dedicated mentor and internal training programs designed to get you through your IStructE or ICE professional review.
• Premium Healthcare & Wellness: Comprehensive private medical insurance and a wellness allowance to ensure a healthy work-life integration.
• Performance Bonuses: A transparent and generous bonus structure that rewards your individual contribution and the success of the Berkhamsted office.

What You Need To Succeed

• At least three years of experience in a structural design office, preferably working on steel-frame industrial or commercial buildings.
• Excellent knowledge of Eurocodes and British Standards, specifically regarding structural steelwork and RC foundations.
• Experience with Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) or similar 3D analysis packages is essential.
• A genuine interest in the technical challenges posed by "big box" industrial units and high-spec technical facilities.
• The confidence to manage small-to-medium design elements independently while coordinating with the wider BIM and Civil teams.
• A proactive communicator who enjoys solving problems alongside architects, contractors, and blue-chip clients.
• A strong academic background with a BEng or MEng in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Ideally working towards Chartership with the IStructE or ICE (preferred but not essential).
