The Position: Senior Civil \& Structural Engineer

Due to ongoing business growth, we have a new opportunity for a Senior Engineer to deliver innovative structural solutions for a diverse range of building projects across the UK. Our portfolio spans commercial developments, residential schemes, education facilities, healthcare buildings, and complex industrial structures.

We are also open to appointing an experienced Engineer who is motivated and capable of progressing towards a Senior Engineer role.

As a Senior Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping these projects, working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams while supporting and mentoring less experienced engineers. You will also receive dedicated support and mentoring to develop towards Principal Engineer level \- something we are genuinely passionate about. If you’re passionate about structural engineering and want to work on challenging, high\-profile projects for respected clients, we’d love to hear from you.

Some of the main responsibilities of the Senior Structural Engineer will include:

  • Lead and coordinate the technical delivery, resources and day\-to\-day activities across a range of projects, delivering civil and structural solutions for a diverse mix of building types, including commercial developments, residential schemes, education facilities, healthcare buildings and complex industrial structures, ensuring delivery to programme and budget.

  • Support and mentor Engineers, Graduates and Technicians, sharing technical knowledge and contributing to the development of less experienced team members.

  • Maintain high standards of technical quality by checking and reviewing work prepared by others, while taking a hands\-on role in the delivery of more complex or challenging design elements.

  • Carry out inspections including site surveys and structural assessments, and prepare clear and accurate technical reports.

  • Contribute to client relationships through regular liaison with internal and external stakeholders, helping to ensure project scope is understood and deliverables are achieved.

  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure compliance with current technical standards, best practice, and quality, safety, environmental and sustainability procedures, including supporting the ongoing development of the Quality Management System.

  • Support wider business development activities by contributing technical input to proposals and helping to identify opportunities within existing projects and client relationships.

  • Degree level qualification (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a similar field.
