Description
We're looking for a Senior Structural Engineer to take ownership of projects within a collaborative structural team. You'll lead designs and junior engineers, act as a senior point of contact for clients, and work closely with senior leadership.
Alongside traditional building design, a major part of the role is façade and external wall remediation: replacing combustible cladding, refurbishing high-rise residential blocks, designing façade framing and delivering work under the Building Safety Regulator regime.
About the business.
An established civil and structural engineering consultancy with a supportive, people-first culture, a strong repeat-client base and a varied portfolio spanning residential, schools, heritage and infrastructure.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead structural projects from concept to completion with minimal direction
- Design in steel, concrete, timber and masonry
- Assess existing buildings and review contractor designs, fixings and façade replacement proposals
- Consider progressive collapse and Building Safety Regulator requirements on remediation schemes
- Act as a senior client-facing representative: keep clients informed, chase missing information and flag risks to deadlines early
- Lead, check and develop junior engineers
- Contribute to schools, heritage and residential projects across the practice
Essential skills and experience:
- Senior-level structural design and project delivery experience in a UK consultancy
- Chartered (CEng MIStructE or equivalent), strongly preferred. Engineers well on the way to chartership will be considered, with support towards it
- Confident leading projects and clients independently
- Proactive, organised communication with clients and project teams
- Commercial awareness and honesty about your own capabilities
- Experience leading or supporting junior engineers
- Initiative, enthusiasm and curiosity: you research technical guidance and keep developing your expertise
- Higher-risk buildings, Building Safety Regulator and Gateway submissions
- Reviewing contractor designs, fixings and cladding support systems
- Working alongside fire engineers on external wall appraisals (e.g. PAS 9980)
- Existing building, refurbishment or heritage experience
- Schools or large residential projects
