Technical excellence: Keep current with new tools, standards and legislation; lead on compliance across Codes, Standards, Regulations and Procedures
Make designs safer & greener: Champion safety and sustainability as core design considerations, not afterthoughts
Fast‑track leadership: High visibility with the Senior Leadership and responsibility for leading a design team, giving you a clear path to broader leadership.
Hybrid that works: 3 days on‑site / 2 days from home
Grow others—and yourself: You’ll monitor and support training and development for your team (and your own progression), with opportunities to represent the discipline externally.
Quality & values‑driven culture: We operate with Accountability, Integrity, Simplicity, Supportive, and Quality—aiming to get it right first time, every time
What you’ll do
Act as Principal Structural engineer, coordinating with clients and multidisciplinary design teams to meet programme, budget and technical scope.
Produce designs, drawings and specifications; compile contract documents; ensure compliance with all relevant standards and procedures.
Maintain planning and cost control; identify and manage scope/schedule changes via formal change control.
Champion engineering quality, sustainability and safety across the lifecycle.
