The Role
This isn’t just a technical role. You’ll step into a senior/principal position within a high-calibre team, mentoring two graduate structural engineers and contributing to the delivery of diverse projects across renewables, education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

  • Frameworks for various local authorities
  • Hospital upgrades 

  • Bridge refurbishments

  • Wind farm projects & substations 

  • Full lifecycle delivery from concept through to completion

  • Structural condition surveys and remedial schemes

 

What Makes Them Different?

  • Every team member, from grad to director, contributes in project meetings

  • Weekly CPD tailored to your goals

  • Framework clients = consistent workload and long-term growth

  • Supportive feedback

  • Plans to double in size again, with new offices and long-term vision

 

Benefits & Culture

  • £60,000 salary (DOE)

  • Significant Performance-based Christmas bonus

  • Flexible working arrangements

  • Exposure to BD and client-facing roles

  • Cross-office collaboration and resource-sharing

  • Pathway to grow into leadership or technical specialist roles

 

Who You Are

  • CEng with SER certification (or working towards both)

  • Confident designing and checking a range of structural projects

  • Comfortable mentoring junior staff and contributing to team culture

  • Enjoy variety 

  • Collaborative, solutions-led, and hands-on
