• Engage closely with clients, architects, and contractors, shaping design decisions through proactive collaboration and clear communication.

• Civil or Structural Engineering degree, ideally working toward Chartership.
• 4+ years UK design experience, with confidence in multi-material structures.
• Commercial awareness; understanding the balance between design ambition and real project delivery.
• Clear, practical communicator; willing to take the wheel and own your work.

• Varied, challenging portfolio: apartments, homes, commercial, and more.
• Practical mentorship, Chartership support, and a competitive salary.
• Work within a skilled, collaborative team committed to innovation and quality.
