Project Structural Engineer

About the Role

Are you a Structural Engineer looking for more responsibility, greater project ownership and the opportunity to develop your career?

Do you want to manage your own projects, work directly with clients and see your work through from initial enquiry to completion?

With over 40 years of experience, we are growing our team and looking for a Project Structural Engineer to take ownership of residential projects across London and the South East.

You will manage your own portfolio of projects, working alongside experienced senior engineers who will support your development without unnecessary supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage residential projects including extensions, alterations, loft conversions and new builds.
• Carry out site inspections, structural calculations, designs and drawings.
• Handle construction queries and communicate directly with clients, architects and contractors.
• Assist with subsidence investigations and prepare technical reports.
• Prepare fee proposals and manage project costs and profitability.
• Support and mentor graduate engineers as the team grows.

What's in it for you?

• Salary of £37,500 – £45,000, reviewed annually.
• Performance-related bonus of up to 10%.
• Support towards IStructE or ICE Chartership, including mentoring, membership fees, first exam entry and courses.
• Dedicated time for professional development and R&D.
• 21 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days with service.
• Additional day off for your birthday.
• Flexible 40-hour working week.
• Hybrid working with at least 2 days from home after probation.

About You

You'll ideally have:

• A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• 3–5 years' experience within a structural engineering consultancy.
• Good structural design knowledge of timber, steel, masonry and concrete using Eurocodes.
• Experience dealing directly with clients, architects and contractors.

The Right Fit

We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their projects, communicates confidently with clients, makes sound engineering decisions and enjoys working as part of a small, supportive team.

This is a hands-on role where you'll manage the full project lifecycle, from site visits and calculations to client communication and commercial management. If you prefer working on just one part of a large project, this may not be the right opportunity.
