Structural Engineer

We’re working with a well-established, design-led structural engineering consultancy based in Holborn that is looking to appoint a Structural Engineer as part of its continued growth. This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for an engineer who enjoys technically challenging building structures work and wants to be part of a close-knit, high-calibre team delivering thoughtful, well-executed designs.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative Structures team working on a broad portfolio of projects across London and the South East. Schemes range from smaller, bespoke commissions through to multi-storey reinforced concrete frames, with a healthy mix of new-build and refurbishment work. A particular strength of the practice is complex alteration projects, often involving mixed materials and constrained sites, so you’ll gain exposure to technically interesting problems. There is clear scope for progression, increased responsibility, and the opportunity to lead projects as your experience develops, supported by senior engineers who are hands-on and invested in mentoring.

Having made several placements with this client, we are able to guide you well through the recruitment process with this consultancy. If you are a capable Structural Engineer who can contribute confidently to the design and delivery of building structures projects, with the technical curiosity and communication skills to grow into a project-leading role, this could be for you.

What’s On Offer

Exposure to architecturally driven, technically complex projects rather than volume-led work.

Real autonomy and trust – engineers are encouraged to think, question, and influence design.

Clear progression path with support towards project leadership and chartership.

Flexible working arrangements built around trust, not presenteeism.

A sociable, low-ego culture with regular team events, learning sessions, and informal collaboration.

What You Need To Succeed

Around 3-6 years’ experience working on UK building structures projects.

Strong design experience across materials, including steel, concrete, masonry, and timber.

Experience with refurbishment and alteration schemes.

Proficiency in structural design software and hand calculations.

Ability to run smaller projects or contribute significantly to larger schemes.

Good communication skills and confidence liaising with architects and clients.

Ambition to progress towards project leadership and chartership.

Chartered (or working towards) – with the IStructE or ICE.

A strong academic background with a BEng or MEng in Civil or Structural Engineering
