Are you a Principal Structural Engineer, Senior Structural Engineer, or similar with experience working across a range of structural materials, looking to join an established consultancy offering progression to Associate, flexible working, and a performance-based company bonus?

Do you want to work for an established consultancy that will offer clear progression to Associate, potentially within the first 6 months, while giving you the autonomy to run your own projects and manage other engineers?

On offer is the opportunity to join an established structural engineering consultancy where you will play a key role in delivering high-quality projects while progressing into a more senior leadership position.
