Senior Structural Engineer

Our client stands out as a truly unique employer. They are deeply committed to their employees and genuinely offer better working arrangements than most firms. Their goal is to expand their current team of six full-time engineers to 10+ through natural growth—focused on the right projects while maintaining their strong company culture.

The firm works on a wide range of projects, from £100k to £20m, and all team members are involved in every stage, from winning the project to completion. Currently, they are seeking to appoint a Senior Structural Engineer in the Midlands.

The ideal candidate will have:

• 5+ years of experience, with a focus in the following sectors:
  • Domestic
  • Residential
  • Commercial
  • Education

Desirable experience includes:

• Experience with smaller-scale projects (under £1m) and, in particular, refurbishment work, which is the core of the business.
• Chartered or close to chartered status, with the ability to conduct site visits independently and work autonomously on basic design tasks.
• A solid background in designing with steel, concrete, masonry, and timber; expertise in timber or concrete is a plus.
• Proficiency in Tekla structural design and Robot software is highly desirable.
• A keen interest in business development, including generating new business, writing proposals, and approaching potential clients.

Our client also offers a flexible work setup, allowing up to 3-5 days of remote working per week, providing a better work-life balance compared to most employers. However, this flexibility requires self-motivation and a proactive approach. Strong communication skills are key, as most interactions take place via Teams or phone calls.

You will be an integral part of the 2-person Midlands team, with a larger team of four based in London. Despite being based in different locations, the remote-working culture creates a tight-knit team, and regular social events are organized—such as a two-day trip to a private lake in the Cotswolds last summer.

While you may initially work across projects in both the Midlands and London, your primary focus will be Midlands-based projects. The Midlands team currently works together in a flexible office space in the Jewellery Quarter once a week, and this arrangement is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

On offer:

• Salary: £40,000 – £55,000.
• Contractual Bonus + Work Winning Bonus.
• Paid Overtime.
• 25 days annual leave (increases by one day per year of service).
• Private Healthcare.
