Company: Elivate Inclusive Limited
Apply for the Graduate Structural Engineer
Location: Barnsley
Job Description:

Elivate Inclusive are representing a well established structural steel business in South Yorkshire who are looking to bring in a Graduate Structural Engineer as part of their continued growth and increasing project demand. The business specialises within portal frame, shed building and design & build steel structures across large commercial and industrial projects.

Projects include:

  • Warehousing / logistics units
  • Industrial buildings
  • Student accommodation
  • Large commercial steel structures

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop within a contractor environment and gain exposure to the full project lifecycle rather than sitting within a purely theoretical role.

You’d be joining a small, experienced engineering team with very low staff turnover and working closely alongside senior engineers, estimators and project teams.

The role will involve:

  • Structural calculations & design work
  • Portal frame projects
  • Steel building design
  • Working alongside fabrication and commercial teams
  • Exposure to live projects from concept through to delivery
  • Using Tekla Portal Frame and Tekla 3D Structural Analysis software

Requirements:

  • Degree qualified in Structural Engineering or similar
  • Some exposure to portal frame design
  • Some exposure to structural steel projects
  • Comfortable using Tekla Portal Frame and Tekla 3D Structural Analysis software
  • Understanding of structural engineering principles
  • Strong communication skills
  • Practical approach to engineering and problem solving
  • Must already have the right to work in the UK

Relevant exposure could have been gained through:

  • A previous structural engineering role
  • Placement year
  • Internship
  • University projects
  • Consultancy or contractor experience

The business would consider:

  • Graduates with relevant exposure to portal frame / steel design
  • Junior Structural Engineers
  • Candidates from consultancy or contractor backgrounds

What they’re really looking for is someone commercially aware, practical and genuinely interested in developing within steel / portal frame design long term.

The culture is stable, down to earth and very team focused. If you’re someone who genuinely wants to learn, develop and become part of a business long term – this role could be for you.

Package:

  • £30,000 – £40,000 DOE
  • Annual bonus
  • Pension
  • Long term progression opportunities
  • Hybrid working longer term following probation

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK
