The Opportunity

We are looking for a driven and technically skilled Structural Project Engineer to join our growing team and help lead the successful delivery of exciting structural projects. This is a leadership-focused role where you will manage design outputs, mentor team members, and maintain strong client relationships — all while keeping delivery on budget and to the highest technical standard.

You’ll work closely with our Principal Engineers and Managing Director, playing a key role in projects valued between £5m and £25m. For engineers aiming to secure IStructE Chartership, we provide structured, in-house training and mentorship led by our MD and Chartered Engineers.

This is an opportunity to step into a role with real impact — delivering quality, driving team performance, and helping shape the future of a growing consultancy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the structural design and delivery of a wide range of projects
• Act as the technical lead across multidisciplinary teams, liaising with designers and external consultants
• Carry out structural analysis and design to Eurocodes and British Standards using materials such as steel, concrete, timber and masonry
• Oversee foundation and geotechnical design, supported by appropriate software and collaboration
• Use tools including Axis VM, Tekla Tedds, and IDEA StatiCa to support detailed engineering outputs
• Produce and review calculations, sketches, technical reports, scopes of work, and specifications
• Manage CAD/Revit coordination and ensure design clarity across documentation
• Maintain client relationships and ensure their objectives are met with responsiveness and professionalism
• Provide technical support and mentoring to less experienced engineers and technicians
• Ensure all work meets compliance, quality assurance, and delivery targets
• Monitor commercial performance, including fee budgets and time management

What We’re Looking For

• MEng (Hons) in Structural Engineering from a recognised UK or international university
• Minimum 6-8 years’ post-qualification experience in a consultancy environment
• Chartered with IStructE or planning to sit the exam in the current calendar year
• Proven ability to manage and deliver projects from concept to construction
• Effective communicator, confident in leading meetings and coordinating with external teams
• A collaborative leader with a proactive mindset and a passion for delivering technical excellence
• Commercially aware and capable of managing budgets and internal resources efficiently
•  

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary (based on experience and responsibility)
• Some flexibility for hybrid working (up to 20% remote)
• Full support for IStructE Chartership via our structured internal development programme
• Fast-tracked career development towards Senior and Principal Engineer roles
• Access to exciting, high-value UK projects
• Professional membership fees covered
• A dynamic, team-driven culture that values ownership, trust, and collaboration
