Ready to take your structural engineering career up a level?
This is an opportunity for an ambitious Principal Structural Engineer to take a leading role in the delivery of engineering projects, combining strong technical expertise with client interaction, team leadership and the opportunity to develop towards a broader management position.
You'll be trusted to lead structural design, provide technical direction and ensure projects are delivered to a high standard. Just as importantly, you'll have the opportunity to influence how the team works, develop junior engineers and build relationships that contribute to the continued success of the practice.
What you'll be doing

• Taking the technical lead on structural engineering design and project delivery.
• Reviewing and checking designs, providing guidance and constructive feedback to engineers.
• Supporting and mentoring junior team members, helping them develop their technical capabilities and professional qualifications.
• Working closely with Associates and senior leadership on project delivery, resourcing and commercial performance.
• Building strong relationships with clients and acting as a key point of contact.
• Contributing to fee proposals, tenders and business development opportunities.
• Supporting the development of technical standards, knowledge sharing and best practice.

What we're looking for

• A degree-qualified Structural Engineer with strong consultancy experience.
• A proven track record of delivering and leading structural engineering design.
• The confidence to take technical ownership and guide others.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to develop client relationships.
• Experience supporting project delivery, managing workloads and coordinating teams.
• Chartered status, or demonstrable progress towards becoming Chartered.

Where this could take you This is a genuine opportunity to broaden your responsibilities beyond technical delivery. You'll work alongside experienced senior leaders, develop your commercial and people-management skills, and build the foundations for progression into an Associate position.
If you're an established Structural Engineer looking for greater influence, responsibility and a clear route towards senior leadership, I'd be keen to speak with you.
