Job description

Engineering That Stands Up to Anything

At BakerHicks, we design the structures that hold some of the UK’s most critical, complex and high‑profile projects together. From aviation to power, defence to major infrastructure, our multidisciplinary teams deliver engineering that is safe, efficient and genuinely buildable.

This role is ideal for someone who is 1–2 years away from achieving chartership and looking to join a company that offers the support, exposure, and project experience needed to get them over the line and progress into a Senior‑level position.

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in delivering high‑quality structural engineering designs as part of an integrated project team. This includes:

• Producing detailed structural calculations and analysis to current British Standards and Eurocodes
• Developing designs for a wide range of buildings and structural elements
• Creating and checking sketches, drawings and technical deliverables to company and client quality standards
• Collaborating closely with architects, engineers and technicians across multiple disciplines
• Supporting and mentoring CAD technicians, trainees and graduates
• Managing and contributing to packages of work, with increasing responsibility as experience grows
• Participating in technical meetings and representing BakerHicks when required
• Promoting quality, accuracy and Perfect Delivery across every project

What You Bring

• A Master’s degree in Structural or Civil Engineering (or a Bachelor’s with willingness to complete further learning)
• A strong understanding of Eurocodes, British Standards, CDM and UK technical standards
• Experience designing with steel, concrete, timber and/or masonry
• AutoCAD proficiency (2D/3D); Revit experience is a bonus
• Solid understanding of structural design principles and site‑wide considerations such as earthworks
• Excellent communication skills – able to collaborate, influence and negotiate across disciplines
• Strong time management and the ability to juggle multiple tasks under pressure
• A full UK driving licence and eligibility for security/airside clearance
• Sector experience in Aviation, Defence, Custodial or Power is a plus!

Who You Are

You’re methodical, practical and positive – someone who takes responsibility for their work, self‑checks for accuracy, and always keeps the bigger picture in mind. You enjoy mentoring others, contributing to team knowledge, and maintaining high professional standards, including keeping up to date with ICE/IStructE development requirements and being almost close to getting chartered and needing support to reach there.

Why BakerHicks?

You’ll be part of a business known for technical excellence and innovation. You’ll get real responsibility, support toward chartership, involvement in major engineering projects, and the opportunity to develop and grow within a collaborative, respected team.
