Are you a future focused structural engineer who would like to do something different? Are you interested in AI and Automation?

Could you be keen to join a small specialist structural design firm in Brighton where your ideas really count, with a real opportunity to develop and grow?

The work is niche, non traditional design engineering within the construction industry, and would suit a candidate who can do structural design but also has skills in Autocad drawing and software automation. An interested in coding would be useful.

As well as offering design services, the firm also develop and market their own web tools to unlock efficiencies and streamline processes. They are constantly evolving and updating, so the role would suit a creative and dynamic individual interested in development of new standards, tool building, optimisation, learning and development.

You will be working closely with a very experienced Structural Engineering Director who has lectured at universities, advised on BSI and construction committees and love to mentor. The role will include contributing to live construction projects and development of in house tools and software.

The role is a key appointment for this small but growing practice, and the firm plans to grow further in the future. The practice is very flexible and the role could even be on a 4 day a week basis if required. Some days to work from home could be allowed if desired in the longer term.

A laptop is provided, very generous holiday allowance, training budget, regular CPD, beer fridge, socials, flexible hours, paid OT (if required).

You would need to live within commuting distance of Brighton.

The offices are a really nice open plan shared workspace, with plenty of social activities, secure cycle parking, showers, free fruit and snacks, close to the train station and other amenities of Central Brighton - a great place to work!

The firm does not hold a visa sponsorship license.
