Senior Structural Engineer - Power

Deliver Structural Design That Powers the UK Energy Network

We’re looking for a Senior Structural Engineer with experience in the Power and Energy sector to support the delivery of critical UK electricity infrastructure projects. This role offers the chance to work on high‑profile schemes across Transmission and Distribution, substations, HV and HVDC systems, and National Grid projects, where structural engineering plays a vital role in keeping the country connected.

If you enjoy solving technically demanding problems, taking ownership of structural design, and contributing to essential energy infrastructure, this role offers strong technical challenge, visibility and progression.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading structural design packages or taking ownership of key elements within Power and Energy infrastructure projects
• Delivering high‑quality structural calculations, drawings, models, reports and specifications
• Supporting schemes across Transmission and Distribution (T&D) networks, electricity infrastructure, substations, HV and HVDC assets
• Applying UK structural design codes, standards and best practice within regulated Power sector environments
• Carrying out detailed structural analysis using industry‑standard software
• Working closely with civil, electrical and multidisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated design solutions
• Contributing to project programmes and providing progress updates to senior engineers
• Supporting tenders, fee proposals and technical scope development for Power sector work
• Introducing practical, buildable and sustainable structural solutions suited to energy infrastructure
• Mentoring junior engineers and supporting capability development within the Power team

What You’ll Bring

• Chartered or near‑Chartered Engineer (CEng MIStructE or CEng MICE with strong structural focus) - will consider someone with AIStructE
• Demonstrable experience delivering structural design within the Power or Energy sector
• Exposure to UK electricity infrastructure projects, such as:
• Transmission and Distribution (T&D) networks
• Substations and associated civil and structural works
• HV and HVDC infrastructure
• National Grid or equivalent regulated utility providers
• Strong understanding of UK structural design codes, standards and assurance processes
• High proficiency in structural analysis and design software, with confidence reviewing and checking models
• Experience working within integrated multidisciplinary design teams, particularly alongside electrical disciplines
• Understanding of CDM duties, construction risk and structural safety
• CSCS card, eligibility for SC clearance, and a full UK driving licence

Why This Role Stands Out

This role puts you at the heart of UK energy infrastructure delivery.

You’ll work on projects that matter, develop deep sector expertise in the Power industry, and build toward future technical or leadership progression within a growing energy portfolio.

Ready?

If you’re a Senior Structural Engineer with Power or Energy sector experience and you want to contribute to the delivery of critical electricity infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.
