Take the Lead on Projects That Challenge You

We’re looking for a Senior Structural Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical problems and delivering high‑quality structural design across aviation, nuclear, defence, industrial, rail, public sector, power and specialist infrastructure projects.

If you’re looking for real responsibility, technically interesting work, and the opportunity to influence how structural design is delivered, this role gives you the space to do exactly that.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading structural design packages for small to medium projects, or owning key design elements within major multidisciplinary schemes
Producing and reviewing structural calculations, models, drawings and specifications
Applying strong working knowledge of UK design codes, including Eurocodes, National Annexes and British Standards
Carrying out detailed structural analysis using industry‑standard software
Contributing to project programmes and providing clear progress updates to senior engineers
Supporting tenders, fee proposals and technical scope development
Introducing practical, buildable structural solutions that improve sustainability and delivery outcomes
Mentoring junior structural engineers and supporting their technical development

What You’ll Bring

Chartered Structural Engineer (CEng MIStructE or CEng MICE with a strong structural focus)
Strong experience delivering structural design for complex building or infrastructure projects
Technical expertise across:
- Steel, concrete, timber and masonry design
- Foundation design, both shallow and deep

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a role where you simply keep things moving.

You’ll have ownership, visibility and the opportunity to apply your structural expertise on projects that genuinely stretch your skills and broaden your sector exposure.

Ready?

If you’re a Senior Structural Engineer looking for more challenge, more impact and more scope to lead, we’d love to hear from you.

Many of the positions within our company are subject to security clearance or security assurance levels.
The successful candidate must be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate level of security clearance or assurance level for this role, in line with client and sector requirements.

In some cases, additional nationality or residency criteria may also apply due to specific client or national security obligations.

Further information on National security clearance levels can be found on the UK Government website: (National security vetting: clearance levels - GOV.UK)
