Description
We have an opportunity for an Associate in the area of Structural Forensics within our London Structures team. You will work as part of the leadership of a team working on a number of projects requiring the review of existing building structures with risks of design flaws.
The challenge is to diagnose the status of the design in relation to code compliance, communicate any deficiencies and propose remedial measures to extend the life of the building with minimum disruption to the building stakeholders.
This is a technically demanding role and we are seeking candidates with a strong interest in this area of work. It is more important that candidates have a strong interest in this area of work and want to develop their skills than it is that they have considerable experience of this type of work. The ideal candidate will have considerable ability in the detailed structural analysis and investigation of structures, and the ability to bring considerable creativity to resolving structural problems and deficiencies. The work requires a detailed understanding of structural load paths, principles, and detailing in concrete and steel buildings.
This is a growing area of work for us and this role will offer significant opportunity for taking on responsibility and career development, and for developing advanced engineering skills and approaches.
