Structural Design Engineer - Residential Design

Kent | Up to £50,000 DOE

Ready to design what comes next?

Are you an ambitious structural design engineer with hands-on residential design experience gained in the UK? Looking for your next move with a consultancy where your ideas, expertise and ambition will genuinely make an impact?

A well-established and growing consultancy based in Kent is looking for a talented structural design engineer to join its team and play a key role in delivering exciting residential projects across the UK.

Why this role?

You'll be joining a collaborative consultancy where technical excellence meets practical, creative engineering. As a structural design engineer, you'll be involved in projects from concept through to completion, working closely with clients, architects and other professionals to deliver smart, buildable structural solutions.

Your residential experience will be highly valued, and you'll have the opportunity to work on a varied portfolio of projects rather than being tied to the same type of scheme day in, day out.

What we're looking for

We're keen to hear from a structural design engineer who has:

  • Proven residential structural design experience gained in the UK

  • Strong knowledge of UK building practices and structural design principles

  • Experience designing structures across a range of residential projects

  • Good technical ability and a practical approach to engineering

  • The confidence to communicate with clients, architects and project teams

  • A desire to develop, take ownership and progress your career

  • Relevant UK engineering qualifications and/or professional experience

Most importantly, we're looking for a structural design engineer who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a consultancy with genuine opportunities to grow.

What's on offer?

  • Salary up to £50,000, depending on experience

  • A varied and interesting residential project portfolio

  • A supportive, collaborative consultancy environment

  • Excellent opportunity for career progression

  • The chance to take real ownership of your projects

  • A role where your experience and ideas will be heard and valued

  • Kent-based office with a professional, friendly team

If you're a structural design engineer ready to take the next step and want to work somewhere that combines interesting projects, technical challenge and career opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
