Title: Structural Engineer
Location: Surrey
About the role:
We are looking for a Structural Engineer to join an established structural engineering consultancy in Surrey, providing technical design support across a varied portfolio of building structures projects with excellent opportunities for professional development.
As a Structural Engineer, you will be working predominantly on residential projects, alongside a smaller proportion of commercial schemes, and should be able to demonstrate previous experience in the structural design of buildings within these sectors.
Within the role of a Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for producing accurate structural calculations, reports and designs while working closely with senior engineers, technicians and other members of the design team to support the successful delivery of projects.
The position offers the opportunity to develop your technical experience while becoming increasingly involved in client communication, site visits and project coordination. The consultancy places considerable importance on engineers being able to communicate effectively with clients, understand their requirements and contribute positively to the wider project team.
You will work alongside experienced engineers on projects of varying size and complexity, gaining further exposure to the structural design process and developing the confidence to take greater responsibility as your experience progresses.
About you:
Candidates should ideally have between two and three years' post-graduate experience working within UK structural engineering consultancies, although applications from individuals with slightly less experience will be considered where their background provides a strong match.
Previous experience working on residential building structures is particularly important, alongside a sound understanding of structural design principles and the ability to communicate confidently and professionally with clients and other members of the project team.
In addition to having a confident, commercial and professional outlook, you should have:
- Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
- Ideally two to three years' UK structural engineering consultancy experience
- Experience working on residential building structures projects
- Knowledge of structural design using steel, concrete, masonry and timber
- Strength in working to British Standards, Eurocodes and relevant design guidance
- The ability to produce accurate structural calculations and technical reports
- Confidence communicating directly with clients and other construction professionals
- A willingness to attend site visits and develop broader project responsibilities
- Strong analytical, communication and technical design skills
- Excellent communication skills in both written and spoken English
- A full UK driving licence would be advantageous but is not essential
Software required:
- AutoCAD
- Microsoft Office suite
