• Managing the design process for industrial and commercial structures while ensuring compliance with current engineering codes and standards
• Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering and environmental teams during project delivery
• Supporting tender preparation, bid submissions and proposal development
• Developing and maintaining strong client relationships
• Managing project scope, programme, resources and commercial delivery
• Meeting clients to define project requirements and develop appropriate engineering solutions
• Ensuring technical quality and compliance across project deliverables
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team development

Candidate Requirements

Candidates should demonstrate strong structural engineering capability combined with leadership experience within engineering consultancy or industrial project environments.

The successful individual will ideally possess:

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Experience delivering structural design projects within an engineering consultancy environment
• Chartered status with IStructE or ICE would be preferred, although other relevant qualifications and equivalent professional experience will also be considered
• Strong knowledge of structural design codes, standards and engineering best practice
• Experience managing engineering projects and leading technical teams
• Strong client-facing communication skills and ability to develop professional relationships
