-------------------------
About
My client is a progressive and well-regarded engineering consultancy headquartered in Leeds, known for delivering high-calibre structural engineering solutions across diverse project types. With a reputation built on technical excellence and client-focused delivery, they take pride in a portfolio that spans hi-rise residential (up to 50 storeys), commercial, mixed-use developments, and bespoke client-led projects.
What sets them apart:
- End-to-End Expertise: The consultancy covers full project lifecycles—from initial concept design through to site supervision and completion—promoting a holistic approach to engineering.
- Balance of Creativity and Constructability: dedicated to crafting designs that not only innovate but are practical and grounded in real-world execution.
- Sustainable Performance: Bringing sustainable design to the forefront, the firm actively incorporates considerations like material efficiency and embodied carbon into project delivery.
- Collaborative & Nurturing Culture: They operate in small to mid-sized project teams that allow direct access to mentorship, strong inter-disciplinary collaboration, and direct client engagement early in your career.
-------------------------
The Role
As a Structural Engineer with approximately two years of postgraduate experience, you’ll play a vital role within one of the delivery teams, supported by senior engineers and management to hone your technical expertise in a dynamic yet supportive setting.
Key Responsibilities:
- Produce structural designs and calculations across steel, concrete, masonry, and timber projects.
- Prepare and review technical documentation—including reports, drawings, and specifications—in line with relevant British Standards (BS) and Eurocodes (UK-compliant).
- Coordinate with architects, MEP engineers, and contractors to ensure structural integration across disciplines is seamless.
- Undertake design reviews and quality assurance checks of junior colleagues' outputs.
- Perform site visits for feasibility analysis, inspections, and to support project progress.
- Participate in technical and client meetings, supporting presentations to stakeholders.
- Contribute to internal improvements by refining design processes or enhancing digital workflows and toolsets.
-------------------------
Your Profile
Essential:
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in civil or Structural Engineering.
- Approximately 2 years of relevant structural design experience, including the use of analysis software (e.g., Tekla, SCIA, SAP2000, IDEA Statica) and CAD/BIM tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
- Solid understanding of steel, concrete, masonry, and/or timber design in-line with UK regulatory standards.
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
- Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal; comfortable producing technical reports and engaging with teams/clients.
- A proactive, collaborative attitude, with a keen focus on learning and professional growth.
Desirable (but not essential):
- Familiarity with sustainability metrics or embodied carbon assessment tools.
- Experience in multidisciplinary project settings and client-facing interactions.
- Professional accreditation or eligibility progress toward ICE or IStructE chartership.
-------------------------
What You’ll Gain
- A structured career pathway with regular development feedback, CPD opportunities, and support towards chartership.
- Exposure to a mix of projects—from urban residential schemes and commercial refurbishments to industrial and education-focused developments.
- A culture of openness and flexibility, with hybrid working from their modern Leeds office.
- Competitive benefits including pension contributions, performance-related bonuses, and continuous professional development.
