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

  • 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
