Join to apply for the Structural Engineer role at Icomera

Icomera is a leading global innovator in connectivity solutions within the transportation sector. We are at the forefront of transforming public transport, making it smarter, safer, greener, and more connected than ever before. At Icomera you work with products used by many users around the world, including passengers on some of the world's largest train and bus operators.

Ready to take on your next challenge as a Structural Engineer?

DG8 Design & Engineering is seeking an experienced professional to join our growing team and help shape the future of rail transport.

DG8 Design & Engineering, a division of Icomera UK Ltd (part of the wider EQUANS organisation), are an established design and engineering group based in Derby. Our creative and versatile group of designers and engineers are experienced in delivering design led projects from concept to implementation.

We mainly work for clients within the Rail transport sector and our team have extensive experience of the Rail vehicle market, working at all tiers of the supply chain.

The majority of DG8’s work is UK based, but there have been occasions where we have been requested to support UK companies in overseas markets. This opportunity has allowed us to develop our skills and knowledge base as well as allowing us to work with a variety of rolling stock owners, operators, and manufacturers.

Job type: Full-time

Workplace conditions: Office Based

About the Role:

The Structural Engineer role within DG8 will primarily involve the structural assessment of designs created by DG8. Where necessary, it may also extend to broader engineering responsibilities in support of project delivery. You will work closely with our Project Engineers and Design Engineers to shape solutions that meet customer requirements, while producing reports to demonstrate compliance with relevant standards.

The role includes undertaking vehicle surveys, so travel (UK and occasionally overseas) is required.

You will also participate in related activities to ensure customer and company requirements are met — including client design reviews, internal reviews, and quality checks of your work and associated drawings.

Key responsibilities:

• Undertake work on a variety of projects, providing structural guidance for design development.
• Create ANSYS models or hand calculations using data from 3D CAD models, assembly and detailed drawings as part of engineering change packs.
• Ensure adherence to quality system procedures during all processes.
• Actively participate in design reviews with customers and internally with project teams.
• Liaise with suppliers to gain information to allow the design to proceed through to completion.
• Communicate with other members of the project team for guidance on the overall production of engineering change packages.
• As and when required, undertake vehicle surveys on-site to gain the information required to start the design process.
• If required, pro-actively develop the competencies required to enable progression towards chartership.

Requirements:

• A UK-SPEC accredited degree in a relevant engineering discipline (preferably in Mechanical Engineering). Achieved grade of 2:1 or above.
• Around 2–3 years of experience in an engineering environment, though other levels of experience will be considered.
• Experience in rail or a similar safety-critical, design-focused industry.
• Familiarity with working in or supporting project and design teams.
• An understanding of engineering drawings.
• An understanding of 3D modelling and its creation.
• Proficiency in CAD systems – ideally Siemens Solid Edge or SolidWorks.
• Experience with FEA systems – ideally ANSYS.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
• IT literate with good working knowledge of Windows 10/11 and Office 365.
• Working towards chartership (IMechE or equivalent), or committed to doing so.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.
• Effective communicator, able to work independently or as part of a team.
• Full UK driving licence – required for on-site vehicle surveys.

Our Offer:

• A unique opportunity to help shape the future of public transport technology as part of the global shift towards smarter, greener, more connected mobility.
• The chance to work on high-impact products used by millions of passengers around the world, including on some of the largest rail and bus networks in Europe and North America.
• A collaborative, team-focused culture with modern facilities and a flexible, engaging work environment.
• Support for your wellbeing and development, including access to private healthcare (after one year), an Employee Assistance Programme, and a wide range of lifestyle and wellness benefits via the Perkbox platform.
• A comprehensive benefits package, including a contributory pension scheme, gym membership support, eye care vouchers, and enhanced parental leave.
