Jobs in Hockering Estate

We have an opportunity for a Structural Engineer to join the consultancy division of an engineering contractor based in Slough, delivering a diverse portfolio of structural projects across the UK. This role will support a close-knit and highly experienced team, being a hands-on role offering a mix of design, analysis, and site-based engineering, ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world structural challenges.
This opportunity offers exposure to an incredibly varied project portfolio, including listed buildings, historic monuments, churches, bridges, and residential properties. You’ll work alongside a collaborative team of engineers and site specialists, contributing to both temporary works and permanent refurbishment designs. The role goes beyond pure calculations – you’ll be actively involved in assessing existing structures, advising on strengthening solutions, and developing practical, buildable designs. With a strong emphasis on long-term development, the business is committed to supporting chartership and nurturing engineers through to senior leadership – evidenced by team members who have progressed from junior roles to director level.
The client is looking for a proactive and technically capable engineer who combines strong analytical ability with practical problem-solving skills. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk all day – it requires curiosity, communication, and a willingness to engage with projects from concept through to site delivery.
What’s On Offer
* • Strong support towards Chartership with mentorship from experienced engineers.
* • Exposure to a wide variety of complex and heritage-focused projects.
* • A clear progression pathway within a business known for long-term staff retention.
* • Opportunity to work across both consultancy and contractor environments.
* • Close-knit team culture with real influence on project outcomes and business direction.
What You Need To Succeed
* Minimum of 4+ years’ experience in structural engineering (post-graduate).
* Experience in both temporary works (TW) and permanent works / refurbishment design.
* Strong skills in structural analysis, calculations, and design development.
* Ability to assess existing structures and propose strengthening or repair solutions.
* Comfortable undertaking site visits and liaising with contractors and clients.
* A problem-solving mindset with a focus on practical, buildable solutions.
* Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively within a team.
* Ambition to progress professionally and work towards Chartership.
