Summary
Are you a graduate structural engineer (fresh grad - 2 years' experience) with the drive to accelerate your career? This is your chance to join one of the UK's most respected, award‑winning independent construction consultancies-an organisation known for engineering excellence, creativity, and delivering standout solutions across every major sector.
You'll be stepping into a team that works on everything from modern commercial developments to historic buildings, residential schemes, retail spaces, and complex refurbishments-giving you exposure that most engineers don't see until much later in their career.
What you'll be doing
A genuinely varied technical role designed to build you into a well‑rounded engineer:
- Structural design on live, real‑world projects across multiple sectors
- Structural surveys and on‑site investigations alongside experienced engineers
- Building appraisals spanning new builds, historic structures, and refurbishments
- Hands‑on involvement across the project lifecycle, learning from specialists with decades of experience in structural and civil engineering, building surveying, and defect investigation.
This is not a role where you'll be stuck behind a desk - expect early responsibility, site exposure, technical variety, and meaningful input from day one.
What you'll get in return
- A competitive salary, in line with your industry experience
- A flexible and agile working pattern to benefit your lifestyle
- A employee owned trust that pays bonus, and reinvests back into the company
- A springboard for future success. You will be surrounded by Chartered and Conservation Accredited engineers
- Continued support with proffesional memberships and learning opportunities
