Our Structural Engineers get involved in every stage of a project, from providing quotes and booking in visits to issuing invoices and answering queries once a design or report has been issued, so we’re looking for someone proactive and happy to take charge of their own projects/workload.

• Assistance to become Chartered if not already.
• Regular CPDs, toolbox talks and training provided by the Managing Director/Director/Senior Engineer.
• Dinner/drinks paid for on work nights out.
• The office overlooks Homefield Park, so it’s peaceful and a lovely place to stretch your legs on your lunch break.
• We have an office dog (a one-year-old golden retriever) that comes in a couple of afternoons a week.

Essential requirements:

• Current design and drawing experience.
• Strong IT capabilities including current working knowledge of Microsoft Office and autoCAD.
• Full driving licence.
• Excellent command of the English language.
• Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
• Ability to climb ladders, enter loft spaces, and other physical activities essential to the job including the ability to cope with heights.
• Legible hand calculations.
• Excellent knowledge and understanding of British Standards and Building Regulations.
• Strong degree in relevant subject.
• Ability to deal directly with clients, suppliers and contractors in a professional manner with minimal supervision.

Desirable skills:

• Chartered or near Chartered status.
• Contract Administration experience.
• Working knowledge of Revit.
• Party Wall Surveyor experience.

Responsibilities:

• Conducting site visits, drafting reports and proposing remedial works.
• Producing structural calculations, details and drawings to current British Standards and Building Regulations.
• Advising on Building Regulations applications and tender documentation.
• Carrying out design solutions in steel, concrete, timber and masonry.
• Providing on-site supervision.
• Checking calculations.
• Liaising with building control inspectors, clients, contractors, suppliers and consultants.
• Producing detailed working drawings and project documentation.
• Quoting, invoicing and managing your own workload.
