We invite you to bring your talent and passion into play as you take an active role in delivering a wide range of interesting projects of different scales, complexities, structural forms and materials within a Top 10 consultancy.

If you crave a challenging role but need flexibility and work-life balance, our new Structural Engineer or Senior Structural Engineer positions may be ideal for you. We are very interested in talking to people who are looking for a new challenge or may be on a career break and are thinking about returning to consultancy.

Are you our new Structural Engineer or Senior Structural Engineer? You will join our Buildings team, working on a range of exciting local landmarks as well as national and international projects, in a variety of sectors including commercial offices, education, healthcare, heritage, industrial, rail, aviation, defence and residential.

Your key tasks and responsibilities will involve:

• Develop and agree structural concepts and design philosophies
• Inspire and enthuse the engineers and technicians on your projects
• Liaise with clients and collaborators, representing Ramboll at project meetings
• Take ownership as day-to-day lead on a project or part of a project
• Push the boundaries of low-carbon design

Your key deliverables over the first 12 months will be:

• Grow and maintain a network of contacts and be a great ambassador for Ramboll
• Lead the design process for a project (size suitable for level of experience)
• Outside day-to-day project work, collaborate with colleagues from the local team and beyond to support implementation of various aspects of the Ramboll Business Plan

We believe your starting point is:

• Chartered or nearly-Chartered with the IStructE, ICE, or international equivalent
• An excellent communicator capable of explaining complex engineering principles in plain language, verbally, in writing, and through sketching
• A track record of working on projects with high levels of design, sustainability, or re-use of existing assets
• Experience in the design of primary construction materials (steel, concrete, timber) and a good general knowledge of building construction; experience of MMC would be beneficial
• A passion for sustainable solutions
• A multidisciplinary mindset and an aptitude for learning about the wider aspects of building design

Personal qualities that will help you succeed in this role include:

• Great with people
• Diverse in outlook and with something different to bring to the table
• A curiosity to explore – ‘is there a better way to do this’
• Happy to ask questions and to answer them
• Willingness to take responsibility for your projects and development

We are also interested in any experience you may have in the following areas, but these are not essential:

• Assessment, retrofit and alteration of existing structures
• Construction supervision, building investigation and structural testing
