Take the Lead on Projects That Challenge You
We’re looking for a Senior Structural Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical problems and delivering high‑quality structural design across aviation, nuclear, defence, industrial, rail, public sector, power and specialist infrastructure projects.
If you’re looking for real responsibility, technically interesting work, and the opportunity to influence how structural design is delivered, this role gives you the space to do exactly that.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading structural design packages for small to medium projects, or owning key design elements within major multidisciplinary schemes
- Producing and reviewing structural calculations, models, drawings and specifications
- Applying strong working knowledge of UK design codes, including Eurocodes, National Annexes and British Standards
- Carrying out detailed structural analysis using industry‑standard software
- Contributing to project programmes and providing clear progress updates to senior engineers
- Supporting tenders, fee proposals and technical scope development
- Introducing practical, buildable structural solutions that improve sustainability and delivery outcomes
- Mentoring junior structural engineers and supporting their technical development
What You’ll Bring
- Chartered Structural Engineer (CEng MIStructE or CEng MICE with a strong structural focus)
- Strong experience delivering structural design for complex building or infrastructure projects
- Technical expertise across:
- Steel, concrete, timber and masonry design
- Foundation design, both shallow and deep
- Structural assessments and refurbishment
- Dynamic or seismic analysis, advantageous
- High proficiency in tools such as Tekla Structural Designer, STAAD, Robot or Tedds
- Experience working within integrated multidisciplinary project teams
- Experience within sectors such as aviation, defence, nuclear, rail, power or public sector is a strong advantage
- Knowledge of BIM workflows and tools such as Navisworks
- Understanding of CDM duties and structural safety responsibilities
- CSCS card, eligibility for SC clearance, and a full UK driving licence
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a role where you simply keep things moving.
You’ll have ownership, visibility and the opportunity to apply your structural expertise on projects that genuinely stretch your skills and broaden your sector exposure.
