Job description

Structural Engineer – St Albans

Salary: up to £45,000 | Permanent | Full-time

Are you a talented Structural Engineer looking for your next opportunity with a company where your contribution will genuinely make a difference?

A successful and highly regarded small partnership based in St Albans is looking to bring an ambitious Structural Engineer into its close-knit team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with around 3-4 years of structural design experience who wants to take the next step in their career within a supportive and technically focused environment.

You’ll be joining an established practice with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality structural engineering solutions across a varied portfolio of projects. Working within a small team means you’ll have genuine exposure to projects from an early stage, giving you the opportunity to broaden your technical experience and take ownership of your work.

As a Structural Engineer, you’ll be involved in the design and delivery of a range of interesting projects, producing structural calculations, developing designs and working closely with clients, architects and other members of the project team. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and build on your existing experience rather than becoming another small cog in a large organisation.

The ideal Structural Engineer will have approximately 3-4 years’ experience in structural design, a relevant degree and a solid understanding of structural engineering principles. You should be confident working with structural calculations and design software, have good communication skills and enjoy finding practical solutions to engineering challenges.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Structural Engineer who wants to work somewhere personable, progressive and genuinely invested in its people. You’ll have the chance to develop technically, take on increasing responsibility and build a long-term career within a successful partnership.

In return, the company offers a salary of up to £45,000, alongside the opportunity to work within a friendly and supportive team where your ideas and expertise will be valued.

If you’re ready for a role where you can develop your career, work on interesting projects and become an important part of a successful team, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
