Job description

Overview

Structural Engineer
Stockport, Greater Manchester
£35,000 - £45,000 DOE | Residential & Commercial Projects | Independent Consultancy

I'm working with a well-established civil and structural engineering consultancy in Stockport who are looking to appoint a Structural Engineer with around 4-8 years' experience to join their friendly, close-knit team.

The practice has been operating for many years and has built up a strong client base in the residential and commercial sectors - covering everything from bespoke new-build homes to multi-unit housing schemes, office developments, retail fit-outs and light industrial buildings.

You'd be joining a team of around a dozen people, including engineers and technicians, where collaboration is key and no two days look the same. This is the type of consultancy where you'll have real variety, the freedom to get on with your work, and the chance to follow projects right through from initial concept to completion.

What you'll be doing

• Structural design and analysis for a range of building projects in steel, concrete, timber and masonry
• Producing calculations, reports, and technical drawings (with technician support)
• Liaising directly with clients, architects, contractors, and other consultants
• Attending occasional site visits and inspections
• Managing your own workload with support from senior engineers when needed
• Working across both new-build and refurbishment projects

What they're looking for

• Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
• Around 4-8 years' post-grad experience in a design office
• Strong technical skills and familiarity with relevant design codes
• Proficiency in structural design software (Tekla TSD, TEDDS or similar) and AutoCAD
• Confident communicator who can work well with clients and colleagues alike
• Someone who enjoys variety and can work independently as well as part of a small team

What's on offer

• Salary between £35,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working options
• Support with Chartership (IStructE or ICE)
• A relaxed, supportive working environment where you'll be trusted to deliver
• Real variety in workload and the opportunity to take ownership of your projects

If you're a structural engineer looking for a role where you can work on interesting projects, be trusted to get on with things, and enjoy the benefits of a small, friendly team, this could be the one for you.
