Site Engineer jobs in United Kingdom

A respected employee owned consultancy is seeking a façade engineer to join their London team. Renowned for forensic investigations into buildings and materials, they operate across the UK and mainland Europe from their central office. This opportunity suits a senior engineer ready to step up or an associate seeking long term prospects and a change of pace. The work is steady, varied and intellectually rewarding.

You will investigate faults in building façades, whether caused by design flaws, material failure, poor construction methods or structural issues. Your task is to diagnose the root cause and advise on remedial action. Once a design consultant is appointed, you will peer review their proposals and offer technical input during construction if required. You will also conduct site visits, liaise with insurers, loss adjusters and legal teams, and apply your expertise in new and engaging ways. Occasional travel within the UK and Europe is part of the role.

Employing over 500 staff in the UK and overseas and with decades of experience in forensic engineering, this employee owned firm blends technical depth with a collaborative ethos. Their expertise spans façade design, building physics, architecture and conservation, supported by in house labs and testing facilities. Staff turnover is low and they are highly regarded by clients and employees alike. Their work sits outside the competitive tendering cycles of mainstream engineering, offering stability, progression and job security even in uncertain markets.

A façade engineer with at least six years of design experience, strong analytical and lateral thinking skills, and a degree with a 2:1 or above. Chartered status with IStructE, ICE or RIBA is preferred.
